11. Calcium sodium edetate (CSE) is a chelating agent (see note 1 below) used in medicine to lower toxic levels of lead in the blood. The molecular formula for CSE is C10H14CaN2O8. Each molecule of CSE can bind one lead ion (Pb2+). If someone has a blood lead level of 650Lμg (this means 650 micrograms of Pb2 ions per liter of blood), what mass of calcium sodium edetate (CSE) must be administered to them per liter of blood to lower their blood lead level (concentration of Pb2+ ions) to 5.0Lμg ? For this problem you can assume the chemical equation for this reaction is: Pb2++CSE2… PbCSE Note 1: A chelating agent is an ion that binds with a metal ion but remains soluble. Think of it as a molecular filter that removes metal ions from solution.
