    A) Pure water (assume that the pH is 7.0 and remains constant).

    [OH-] = 10⁻⁷

    [Fe (3+) ] = 4.0x10⁻³⁸/[OH-]³ = 4.0x10⁻¹⁷ (M)

    That means the solubility is 4.0x10⁻¹⁷ mol/L.

    (B) A solution buffered at pH = 5.0.

    [OH-] = 10⁻⁹

    [Fe (3+) ] = 4.0x10⁻³⁸/[OH-]³ = 4.0x10⁻¹¹ (M)

    That means the solubility is 4.0x10⁻¹¹ mol/L.

    (C) A solution buffered at pH = 11.0.

    [OH-] = 10⁻³

    [Fe (3+) ] = 4.0x10⁻³⁸/[OH-]³ = 4.0x10⁻²⁹ (M)

    That means the solubility is 4.0x10⁻²⁹ mol/L.
