Post-Lab Questions
“1. Describe the differences you observed between Beaker 1, Beaker 2, and Beaker 3. “
Click here to enter text.
“2. Does the beaker without EDTA serve as a positive or negative control? How do you know?
Click here to enter text.
“3. Research and determine the composition of eggshell. State your findings below, and, indicate why this composition makes eggshell a good material for EDTA to chelate. “
Click here to enter text.
“4. EDTA is a synthetic amino acid, which the body perceives as a foreign substance. EDTA is therefore delivered to the kidneys and removed from the body in urine. Explain how this process also leads to the removal of heavy metals. “
