If a catalytic converter operates below 250°C, which outcome predominantly occurs due to constraints on molecular motion?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient thermal energy hinders surface adsorbed reactants; therefore, the **Arrhenius equation** dictates a reduction in reaction site diffusion rates rather than increased selectivity, because lower temperatures decrease reaction kinetics as activation energy becomes harder to surmount.
