Chapter 21, Problem 21.76SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The role of ${\text{EDTA}}^{4-}$ as a trace detective to mayonnaise is to be determined. It is also to be that the glycinate ion $({\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{NCH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CO}}_2^{-})$ is an effective substitute for ${\text{EDTA}}^{4-}$ or not.

Concept introduction:

The ${\text{EDTA}}^{4-}$ is known as the hexadentate ligand which can form stable complexes by bonding with many metal ions.
