Within a catalytic converter, which outcome results at high space velocity?

💡 Explanation

Reduced CO oxidation occurs because at high space velocity, residence time decreases, leading to a drop in the residence time. This limits the time available for surface reactions via the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism; therefore CO oxidation suffers rather than other reactions that may be mass-transfer limited.
