Which consequence results when insufficient catalyst is loaded onto a catalytic converter in an automobile?

A)Increased downstream particulate matter production
B)Reduced efficiency removal of pollutants
C)Elevated engine block operating temperatures
D)Diminished carbon monoxide production overall

💡 Explanation

A deficiency of catalysts limits the surface area available for redox reactions; because reaction rates directly depend on available catalyst, therefore fewer pollutants will be converted, rather than producing alternate emissions with downstream mechanisms.
