Which outcome occurs when designing a catalytic converter constrained by space and temperature?

A)Increased catalyst surface area needed
B)Lowered activation energy is sufficient
C)The introduction requires a sacrificial catalyst
D)Higher operating pressure will be tolerated

💡 Explanation

Increased catalyst surface area can increase the contact between reactants and catalyst via increased frequency of collisions according to collision theory; therefore, increasing the reaction rate, rather than relying solely on temperature or pressure increase, because these variables can make the catalyst deactivate faster.
