The solubility of Fe(OH) ₃ is x mole per liter. Find its K_ sp .
Options
- A9x^3
- B3x^4
- C27x^4
- D9x^4
Correct answer
C. 27x^4
Step-by-step solution
The dissociation reaction of Fe(OH) ₃ is given by: Fe(OH) ₃ Fe ³⁺ + 3 OH ^- Given the solubility of Fe(OH) ₃ is x mol/L, the equilibrium concentrations of the ions are: [ Fe ³⁺] = x [ OH ^-] = 3x The solubility product constant K_ sp is written as: K_ sp = [ Fe ³⁺][ OH ^-]^3 Substituting the concentrations into the expression: K_ sp = (x)(3x)^3 K_ sp = 27x^4 Answer: 27x^4
