EDTA forms a complex with zinc ions, where zinc bonds to EDTA through six coordination sites to form [Zn-EDTA]2-. The reaction uses an ammonia buffer at pH ~10.5 as the indicator Eriochrome Black T only changes color in the pH range of 7-11.

Ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA is a large molecule
which creates a complex with a metal ion, bonding through six coordination sites. The ammonia buffer (pH ~ 10.5) used here is needed as Eriochrome Black T only changes colour in the pH range 7 – 11
