Paragraph: EDTA is used as a complexing agent in chemical analysis. Solution of EDTA usually containing the disodium salt Na ₂ H ₂ EDTA are also used to treat heavy metal poisoning. EDTA is a hexadentate ligand having the following structure. Question: A solution having equal moles of both reactant show the following equilibrium ( Keq =10⁻³ ) Pb ²⁺( aq )+ H ₂ EDTA ²⁻( aq ) PbEDTA ²⁻( aq )+2 H ⁺( aq ) If concentration
Options
- AHigh negative charge density
- BChelation
- CLow negative charge density
- DBecause it is very weak field ligand
Correct answer
B. Chelation
Step-by-step solution
Let conc. of both reactants at equilibrium is M aligned & Keq = [ PbEDTA ²⁻ ] [ H ⁺ ]^2 x ^2 & x =10⁻³ aligned
