Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA), also known as Edetic Acid, has the chemical formula C10H16N2O8. It appears as a white solid crystalline powder. It is slightly soluble in Water at ambient conditions. EDTA is a weak acid that is an Aminocarboxylic Acid and is formed when Ethylenediamine is condensed with Sodium Monochloroacetate in the presence of Sodium Carbonate.
It is usually known as a hydrophilic chelating agent to transform metal ions into cyclic, inactive metal complexes. Chemically pure or Laboratory reagents are two terms often used to describe Lab Grade chemicals. Lab Grade chemicals do not meet any accepted quality or purity requirements such as the ACS Grade, the USP Grade, and the FCC Grade, despite their acceptable purity.
