In Byrne's comment (this issue) on the solubility of platinum in aqueous solutions (Azaroual et al., 2001), he claims that our recommended values for the formation constant of PtOH+ (OHβ1) are unreasonably high. We would like to thank him for his interest in our work and for the opportunity to clarify certain points that were not fully explicit in our initial paper.
