Solution

The correct option is B 1010
The equilibrium reaction is as shown below.
Fe(OH)2Fe2++2OH
The equilibrium constant is K=Ka1×ka2=1×104×2.5×104=2.5×1010
The expression for the equilibrium constant =K=[Fe2+][OH]2[Fe(OH)2]
Substitute values in the above expression, we get
2.5×1010=(0.1x)(1.0×1072x)2x
On solving this equation, we get x=1×1010
