In a catalytic converter operating below optimal temperature, which outcome is accelerated due to boundary layer effects?

💡 Explanation

Below optimal temperature, boundary layer thickness increases, hindering diffusion; therefore catalyst surface poisoning by lead accelerates because of increased lead concentration in that boundary layer, rather than changing production or reduction rates significantly.
