A catalytic converter turns harmful toxic gases from a car's engine into much safer gases before they leave the tailpipe.
How It Works
• Location: It sits on the underside of the vehicle, located between the engine and the muffler.
• Inside Structure: It contains a ceramic honeycomb structure coated in precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium.
• Chemical Reaction: As hot exhaust passes through, these metals act as catalysts to spark a chemical reaction without melting or dissolving.
