Solution
The correct option is A64 times Fe(OH)3(s)⇌Fe3+(aq)+3OH−(aq) K=[Fe3+][OH−]3[Fe(OH)3] K=[Fe3+][OH−]3 (∵ activity of solid is taken unity)
Concentration of OH− ion in the reaction is decreased by 1/4 times, then equilibrium concentration of Fe3+ will increased by 64 times in order to keep the value of K constant.
