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

What effect does EDTA have when added to a lactase meditated reaction?

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.

Replacement Titration: In this method the metal, which is to be analyzed, displaces quantitatively the metal from the complex. When direct or back titrations do not give sharp end points, the metal may be determined by the displacement of an equivalent amount of Mg or Zn from a less stable EDTA complex. Mn+2 + Mg EDTA---> 2 Mg+2 + Mn EDTA-2 Mn displaces Mg from Mn EDTA solution. The freed Mg metal is then directly titrated with a standard EDTA solution. In this method, excess quantity of Mg EDTA chelate is added to Mn solution. Mn quantitatively displaces Mg from Mg EDTA chelate. This displacement takes place because Mn forms a more stable complex with EDTA. By this method Ca, Pb, Hg may be determined using Eriochrome blackT indicator.
