Which outcome occurs when inadequate catalyst surface area limits catalytic converter efficiency?

💡 Explanation

Reaction rates plateau when there is insufficient surface area, because adsorption limits catalytic activity. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism dictates surface adsorption precedes reaction; therefore, the overall exhaust conversion efficiency suffers, rather than pressure changes or SCR failures, given catalyst quantity is already fixed.
