Question
EDTA is a hexaprotic acid - it has 6 acidic hydrogens. EDTA has four carboxylic acid groups and two amino groups (see
structure below), so the fully protonated form has an overall 2+ charge. When abbreviating EDTA it is common to use "Y" to
represent the rest of of the molecule (as opposed to "A" or "B"). Match the forms described below to the appropriate
abberviation.
