A study tested whether adding a chelating agent affects the rate of an Fe3+^{3+}-catalyzed oxidation reaction. Hypothesis: EDTA decreases the oxidation rate by binding Fe3+^{3+} and reducing its catalytic availability. Methods: Two reaction mixtures were prepared with identical concentrations of substrate and Fe3+^{3+} at the same pH and temperature. Condition 1: no EDTA. Condition 2: added EDTA. Product formation was tracked by absorbance. Results: The EDTA condition showed a slower increase in absorbance. Which factor most likely influences the outcome?
