Which outcome occurs when catalytic converter reaches operating temperature in car exhaust system during cold start?

💡 Explanation

When the catalytic converter reaches operating temperature, catalytic oxidation and reduction processes are initiated because reaction kinetics accelerate significantly enabling equilibrium conditions for pollutant conversion. Therefore reduced unburnt hydrocarbon emissions result, rather than increased efficiency, or changes in nitrogen oxides/particulates which depend on varied factors.
