Answer to Question 1

Any one of the listed conditions could lead to flooding:
(a) because vapor can build up excessively, then condense
(b) because the column may be partially plugged (not allowing vapors to ascend freely) adn
because the increased surface area of teh packing allows excellive condensation
(c) and (d) because excessive condensation in the column will occur



Answer to Question 2

The larger surface area of the helices permits more condensation-vaporization steps, thus
increasing thnumber of theoretical plates.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
