I need to know that after dissolved EDTA in suitable solvent e.g. water, isopropanol etc.. what are the ionic species will form and how to confirm those ionic species presence using which characterizations? any references regarding EDTA dissolving reaction chemistry will be helpful. Thank you.
Dear Umesh Nakate, dissolution is a physical process, which means one can not expect a chemical reaction to occurs. EDTA dissolution is pH dependent, because COOH groups are ionizable only at pH's higher than 2.24. the ionizable groups are behind the complexation interactions with metals for exemple. Please check the following for more details. My Regards
