From the calculation as shpwn in the procedure below, the equilibrium constant of the substance is 6.9 * 10^-15.

<h3>What is equilibrium constant?</h3>

The equilibrium constant for the solubility of aa solid in solution is called the solubility product Ksp. The Ksp shows the extent to which a solid is dissolved in solution.

Given that;

Fe(OH)2 ⇄Fe^2+ + 2(OH)^-

Ksp = s(2s)^2

We have s as 1.2 x 10^-5 M

So

Ksp = 4s^3

Ksp = 4( 1.2 x 10^-5 )^3

Ksp = 6.9 * 10^-15
