← ScienceWhich outcome accelerates decomposition in a catalytic converter?
A)Increased catalyst surface area✓
B)Decreased exhaust gas velocity
C)Reduced operating temperature
D)Higher concentration of noble gases
💡 Explanation
Increased surface area provides more active sites for the catalytic process, greatly reducing the reactions activation energy; therefore, decomposition accelerates, because the **adsorption mechanism** proceeds more effectively, rather than being limited by surface contact or reaction speed
