If the concentration of OH^ - ions in the reaction Fe(OH)_3(s)...

If the concentration of OH−\mathrm{OH}^{-}ions in the reaction Fe(OH)3(s)⇌Fe3+(aq)+3OH(aq)\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})_3(s) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}(a q)+3 \mathrm{OH}(a q) is decreased by 14\frac{1}{4} times, then equilibrium concentration of Fe3+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} will increase by

Options

  1. A8 times
  2. B16 times
  3. C64 times
  4. D4 times

Correct answer

C. 64 times

Step-by-step solution

Key Idea : The concentration of solids taken to be unity. Fe(OH)3(s)⇌Fe3+(aq)+3OH−(aq)∴K=[Fe3+][OH−]3\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})_3(s) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}(a q)+3 \mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q) \\ & \therefore \quad K=\left[\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\right]\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]^3 \end{aligned} Hence, if OH−\mathrm{OH}^{-}ion concentration is decreased by 14\frac{1}{4} times, then equilibrium concentration of Fe3+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} will increase by 64 times.
