Detailed explanation-1: -Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a polyprotic acid containing four carboxylic acid groups and two amine groups with lone-pair electrons that chelate calcium and several other metal ions.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is a type of chelating agent. Also called edetic acid and etheylenediaminetetraacetic acid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a chelating agent can bind to metals via four carboxylate and two amine groups. It is a polyamino carboxylic acid and a colorless, water-soluble solid, which is widely used to dissolve lime scale. It is produced as several salts, notably disodium EDTA and calcium disodium EDTA.
Detailed explanation-4: -EDTA stands for Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid. It is an anticoagulant that prevents coagulation of blood.
Detailed explanation-5: -A tetracarboxylic acid anion formed by deprotonation of all four carboxy groups in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).
