Which risk increases when adjusting the equivalence ratio far from stoichiometry in a catalytic converter?

💡 Explanation

Reduced NOX conversion of hydrocarbons occurs when equivalence ratio deviates from stoichiometry because the reaction equilibirum shifts due to insufficient oxygen which inhibits the reduction of NOX; therefore the conversion becomes less effective rather than more so, and other reactions are less favorable.
