Genecks Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) So, I'm starting to notice that EDTA is really annoying to make a solution from. I would like to make a 0.5M stock solution of EDTA, but all I have is EDTA disodium salt. I'm reading that's basically EDTA but more readily soluble. Another thing I keep reading is that I'll have to adjust the pH of the EDTA disodium salt solution in order to make the molecules more soluble, because I keep getting precipitates at the moment. I'm not sure if I can avoid changing the pH or not. If I have to change the pH, then 7.4 would probably be good and in line with the other Tris-HCl 7.4 pH solution I've made.

hypervalent_iodine Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'm not sure I see a question in there. Is there something you needed clarifying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genecks Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 How do I get EDTA disodium salt to dissolve and be a pH of 7.4. I tried a 0.5M solution, but couldn't get it to dissolve at that amount. So, I tried 0.1 M at 7.4, and it worked ok enough for me to get a 50 mL soltuion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
