← ScienceWhich consequence results when a catalytic converter malfunctions in an automobile?
A)Increased regulated pollutant exhaust emissions✓
B)Decreased engine compression ratios occur
C)Elevated fuel octane rating requirements
D)Spontaneous engine combustion begins during cycles
💡 Explanation
In a catalytic converter, catalysis facilitates the oxidation of hydrocarbons and CO into water and CO2. Therefore, a malfunctioning converter increases regulated pollutant emissions because the required reaction is inhibited, rather than producing pressure changes and combustion effects.
