Which outcome occurs when a catalytic converter's washcoat degrades?

💡 Explanation

Increased emissions occur because degraded washcoat reduces the exposed surface area of the catalyst, decreasing reaction rates according to Arrhenius equation. Catalyst deactivation results in unconverted pollutants, rather than increased engine temperature, because of ineffective oxidation and reduction reactions.
