Which outcome occurs when an exhaust catalyst operates near its lower activation energy threshold?

💡 Explanation

Lower exhaust catalyst operating temperatures can limit the surface reaction because Arrhenius's equation defines an exponential relationship between temperature and the *reaction rate constant*. Therefore, incomplete oxidation of CO and VOC occurs, rather than full conversion at normal operating temperatures.
