Two students, Ryeo and Wookie, performed the solubility equilibrium experiment. In preparing the second trial at room temperature, Ryeo ran out of distilled water. He then used the stored distilled water from the refrigerator. On the other hand, Wookie was in a rush that he overtitrated his trial. What will happen to the results of their second trials? a. Both Ryeo and Wookie will obtain a higher calculated Kep. O b. Both Ryeo and Wookie will obtain a lower calculated Ksp. O c. Ryeo will obtain a higher calculated Ksp, but Wookie will still get an accurate value. O d. Ryeo will still get an accurate value, but Wookie will obtain a higher calculated Ksp.

What is the main concern with trying to distill azeotropic mixtures? options: 1- Specialized equipment is required, making separation expensive 2- There are no major concerns with distilling azeotropic mixtures. 3-The components become explosive at high temperature, making separation unsafe. 4- The boiling points of the components are too similar, making separation impractical. 5-The mixture will distill at a single temperature with a constant composition, making separation impossible
