Which consequence results when a platinum catalyst weakens during cyclical use in an exhaust converter?

💡 Explanation

A weakened catalyst reduces activity because decreased *activation energy* causes lowered reaction rates within the converter; therefore hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide conversion decreases, rather than increases to sulfur dixodide or improved NOx conversion, under constant temperature constraints.
