We have,
The solubility product of the FeS = 6.3\times 10^{-18}

Equals number of moles of ferrous sulphate and sodium sulphide are mixed in an equal volume.

Let s be the concentration of ferrous sulphate and sodium sulphide. On mixing the equimolar solution, the volume of the concentration becomes half.
So, [FeSO_4]=[Na_2S] = \frac{s}{2}M

The ionisation of ferrous sulphide;
FeS\rightleftharpoons Fe^{2+}+S^{2-}
Therefore, for no precipitation, ionic product = solubility product
\\K_{sp} = (\frac{s}{2})(\frac{s}{2})\\ 6.3\times 10^{-18} = \frac{s^2}{4}\\
By solving the above equation, we get
s=5.02\times 10^{-9}

The maximum concentration of both the solution is s=5.02\times 10^{-9}M
