Which outcome occurs when a distillation column experiences increased molecular collisions?

A)Reduced separation efficiency observed
B)Higher bottoms product purity
C)Increased column vapor velocity
D)Decreased reboiler duty occurs

💡 Explanation

Distillation involves separating components based on their boiling points; increased collisions cause *molecular diffusion*, interfering with rising vapors therefore separation efficiency decreases rather than increasing bottoms purity , that occurs under other conditions instead.
