For the given reaction:
Fe(OH)3(s)⇌Fe3+(aq)+3OH−(aq)
The equilibrium constant is given by:
Kc=[Fe3+][OH−]3
Let the initial concentrations be [Fe3+]1 and [OH−]1.
Kc=[Fe3+]1[OH−]13
When the concentration of OH− ions is decreased to 41 times, let the new concentration be [OH−]2=41[OH−]1 and the new Fe3+ concentration be [Fe3+]2.
Then, Kc=[Fe3+]2(41[OH−]1)3=[Fe3+]2×641[OH−]13
Since Kc remains constant at a given temperature:
[Fe3+]1[OH−]13=[Fe3+]2×641[OH−]13
[Fe3+]2=64×[Fe3+]1
Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of Fe3+ will increase by 64 times.
