complexation or chelation reaction
Magnesium and EDTA react very quickly through a highly energized ionization reaction in which the EDTA can lose up to 4 hydrogens. The powerful ionization drives the reaction to completion. You can titrate the magnesium and calculate the point of reaction to better understand the mechanism
Calcium disodium EDTA is an inorganic compound. It is synthesized from ethylenediamine, formaldehyde, and sodium cyanide.
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 forms more stable complexes with calcium than with magnesium. This is due to the higher charge density and smaller size of the calcium ion, which allows it to form stronger bonds with the EDTA molecule.
EDTA removes the ions that lactase needs to function as an enzyme. If enough EDTA is added, lactase will no longer have any of it's ion cofactors to aid in the break down of lactose.
The reaction equation between Zn^2+ and EDTA is: Zn^2+ + EDTA → Zn(EDTA)^2-
No, phenolphthalein is not suitable for titrating EDTA against calcium chloride because phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that changes color when the pH of a solution changes, while the reaction between EDTA and calcium ions does not involve a significant change in pH. Instead, a different indicator like Eriochrome Black T is commonly used in complexometric titrations involving EDTA and metal ions like calcium.

In EDTA titration, the color changes typically involve a transition metal complex forming with EDTA. For example, in the titration of calcium ions, a color change from red to blue indicates the formation of a complex between EDTA and calcium ions. This color change signals the endpoint of the titration.
EDTA binds to calcium ions, which are essential for the coagulation cascade. By chelating calcium, EDTA can inhibit the activity of clotting factors that require calcium for their functions, ultimately affecting the clotting process.

calcium bind with the EDTA to prevent the blood from clotting
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.
EDTA acts as a chelating agent, binding to calcium ions in the blood which are necessary for the clotting process. By removing calcium, EDTA prevents the activation of coagulation factors and thus inhibits blood clot formation in the tube.
