Problem

Fe(OH)2\text{Fe}(\text{OH})_2 is precipitated from Fe(II)\text{Fe}(\text{II}) solutions as a white solid but turns dark green and then brown due to the formation of : (1) Fe(OH)2\text{Fe}(\text{OH})_2 and Fe(OH)3\text{Fe}(\text{OH})_3 (2) only Fe(OH)3\text{Fe}(\text{OH})_3 (3) Fe2O3⋅(H2O)n\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 \text{·} (\text{H}_2\text{O})_n (4) Fe2O3⋅2H2O\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 \text{·} 2\text{H}_2\text{O}
