Which outcome occurs when precious metal catalysts embedded within an automotive catalytic converter reach their operating temperature?

💡 Explanation

Increased vibrational mode energy transfer arises as catalyst temperature climbs. This enhancement occurs because increased temperature allows gas-phase reactants to overcome the activation-energy barrier via thermal energy, and adsorb onto the catalyst for reaction. Therefore products form more rapidly rather than equilibrium being limiting.
