2010 MBPs don't support 16 GB RAM due to chipset limitations.

Yes, it is physically possible to install 16 GB RAM in the 2010 MBP.
I'm not sure what would happen if you do it, but the general consensus seems to be that more than 8 GB are not supported (see simsas post and link), so either it won't boot at all or the mac will only use 8 of the 16 GB.
