← ScienceWhich consequence results when poisoning occurs in a catalytic converter?
A)Reduced exhaust gas conversion✓
B)Increased fuel injection pressure
C)Elevated engine oil viscosity
D)Enhanced combustion chamber temperatures
💡 Explanation
Catalytic converter poisoning deactivates the catalyst's binding sites via competitive inhibition, because the mechanism reduces catalyst activity. Therefore, exhaust gas conversion decreases rather than fuel pressure rising or combustion improving, because the reaction pathways are blocked.
