← ScienceWhich outcome primarily disables NOx reduction when exhaust temperature decreases below catalyst activation limits?
A)Reactive site poisoning increases rapidly
B)Adsorption energy barriers become insurmountable
C)Arrhenius kinetics restrict reaction rate✓
D)Internal diffusion pathways constrict drastically
💡 Explanation
Reaction rates depend exponentially on temperature; therefore, Arrhenius kinetics limits NOx reduction because the reaction rate slows dramatically below the activation temperature, rather than active site poisoning which dominates at very high temperatures.
