EDTA, also referred to as ethylenedinitrilo tetraacetic acid, is a white powder that is soluble in a variety of solvents and has the ability to combine with transition metals, rare earth elements, and alkali metals to form stable complexes. It is used as a chelating agent to adhere to metals and calcium because of its claw-like structure. Doctors prescribe EDTA to help the body rid itself of toxins, and it's a vital component of medications that fight cancer. At 240°C, it breaks down over its melting point.
