Which outcome results when the Arrhenius equation's pre-exponential factor is significantly increased in catalytic converter design?

💡 Explanation

When the pre-exponential factor (A) in the Arrhenius equation is increased, surface reaction rate on the catalytic converter increases because there are more frequent effective collisions between reactants and the catalytic surface, thereby lowering activation energy requirements. Therefore a higher conversion efficiency at lower temperatures results, rather than a higher light-off temperature poisoning reduction, or increased backpressure, all of which arise from different changes.
