Can anyone help me with calculating the fractions of EDTA species in water and drawing a plot of the species fractions? I need help ASAP!

See equations 9.11, 9.12 and 9.13 here:

They are correct for every acid. You will need to modify them as EDTA has four protons, not three, but it shouldn't be diffucult. Then it is just a matter of entering known values into the equation.
