Which risk increases when stoichiometric fuel mixture fails?

💡 Explanation

A rich fuel mixture causes excessive reductants leading to overheating of a three-way catalytic converter because the hydrocarbon oxidation reaction rate suddenly increases inside the converter via catalytic surface reaction. Therefore, thermal runaway increases; rather than NOx reduction with leaner combustion.
