← ScienceWhich outcome occurs within catalytic converters when carbon monoxide concentration increases sharply?
A)Reduced platinum surface active sites✓
B)Increased rhodium oxidation-reduction activity
C)Enhanced cerium oxide oxygen storage
D)Accelerated palladium particle agglomeration rate
💡 Explanation
Reduced platinum sites occur because CO preferentially adsorbs, blocking oxygen; therefore, conversion efficiency drops, rather than increasing rhodium activity which reduces nitrogen oxides or oxygen storage increasing, under typical carbon monoxide poisoning conditions.
