The balanced chemical equation for the ionization of phenol is: 
.

The initial concentrations of phenol, phenoxide ion and hydronium ion are 0.05, 0 and 0 respectively.
Corresponding equilibrium concentrations are  x  and x respectively.



x is very small (as the ionization constant is very small) . Hence, x can be ignored in the denominator.




Let be the degree of dissociation of phenol in presence of 0.01 M phenoxide.

The dissociation of phenoxide is as represented:

Also, 

M (as the degree of dissociation is very small.)
M
