← ScienceWhich consequence follows the removal of thermal energy in catalytic converters?
A)Decreased reaction conversion efficiency✓
B)Increased catalyst surface area
C)Dominant forward favoring equilibrium
D)Elevated precious metal catalyst cost
💡 Explanation
Decreased thermal energy from exhaust disrupts endothermic phases of reactions, reducing conversion, because reaction rate diminishes, slowing catalytic activity. Therefore, overall conversion efficacy decreases, rather than thermodynamically favoring equilibrium due to shifted kinetics.
