As some metal ions present in water such as Fe2+ and Cu2+ may interfere in the titration, the inhibitor traps those metal ions and prevent them from reacting during titration, thus preventing indistinct endpoints.

EDTA to remove calcium from the body which is responsible for hardening of cholesterol in the vessels?

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a chelating agent and can bind calcium. Exploitation of this property will enable removal of calcium from the body. Of course safety is paramount, and EDTA should not cause adverse health effects.


Is calcium disodium edta Organic or inorganic?

it is organic


What is the principal of disodium edta?

EDTA -Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic acid is a very powerful chelating agent and will thus complex most metals. However, it is not very soluble in water. The disodium salt of EDTA is and thus making a solution of this is much easier. If you have a known strength solution of EDTA disodium salt, it can then be used as a titrating solution for unknown metals salts.


What is EDTA why it is used for treating hardness of water?

EDTA is ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; the chemical formula is C10H16N2O8.EDTA can react with calcium and magnesium ions forming insoluble precipitates.

What anticoagulant prevents coagulation of blood by removing calcium through the formation of insoluble calcium salt?

Sodium cirate, EDTA, Oxalate


What is the effect of decrease calcium in coagulation?

It hinders it. EDTA, a commonly used anticoagulant, works by chelating calcium. This also has the consequence that large volumes of blood transfusions causes calcium deficiency.


A corrosion technologist pipetted a 100 ml hard water sample and titrated it with 37.64 ml of 0.01 m edta solution for a total hardness endpoint and 29.32 ml of 0.01 m edta solution for a calcium?
