Question

The solubility product expression for iron(III) hydroxide, Fe(OH)₃, is:
Options
A [Fe³⁺][OH⁻]
B [Fe³⁺][OH⁻]³
Correct Answer
C [Fe³⁺]³[OH⁻]
D [Fe³⁺][OH⁻]³ / [Fe(OH)₃]
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Fe(OH)₃(s) ⇌ Fe³⁺(aq) + 3OH⁻(aq). Ksp = [Fe³⁺][OH⁻]³. Solids are not included in the expression.
