Can a catalytic converter change the amount amount of CO2 produced per gallon of gasoline in an internal combustion engine?

Yes. It changes other more harmful and volatile compounds into co2 as the exhaust gas mixture passes through the converter.

between the applications of the catalytic converter is the oxidation of CO into CO2 and yet another is to burn any hydrocarbons left over from combustion (it is also the universal function of the EGR equipment). So sure, the catalytic converter can replace the quantity of CO2 produced, yet in undemanding words by ability of increasing it as a lot because the stoichiometric proper. _

Nope Unless Your Equipped With An Afterburner Wich Burns Post-Combustion Gases

Yes. It oxidizes hydrocarbons which are toxic and CONVERTS them into water vapor and the completely harmless, ecologically inert and naturally occurring byproduct of combustion, CO2.

Yes, it increases the CO2 emissions
