Calcium hydroxide react with EDTA formula?
« on: March 12, 2012, 04:59:11 PM »

Hello i need help finding out the formula for calcium hydroxide reacting with EDTA.
I thought i figured it out, but whilee doing calculations for the Ksp i noticed by answers were way off.
I thought the reaction was this am i wrong?
Ca(OH)2 + EDTA- --> CaEDTA + 2OH^-1

Formula? Or reaction equation?

Your reaction equation is not completely off, but it is not balanced (you have -1 charge on the left and -2 on the right). EDTA is tetraprotic, you should know what form was dissolved. Not knowing what you calculated and how it is hard to say anything more.
