Which outcome results when sustained ignition failure occurs within catalytic converters?

💡 Explanation

Reduced heat dissipation causes catalyst overheating and eventual thermal runaway of exothermic reactions because runaway accelerates exponentially with temperature due to the Arrhenius equation; therefore, thermal runaway happens rather than reactions slowing, because a large active surface area lowers activation energy.
