If the formation of NO and `O_(2) ` from `NO_(2)`, the rate of production of

Options

A. NO and `O_(2)` are equal
B. NO is double the rate of consumption of `NO_(2)`
C. NO is twice the rate of production of `O_(2)`
D. `O_(2)` is twice the rate of production of NO

Explanation

To solve the problem regarding the formation of NO and O2 from NO2, we will analyze the reaction and derive the relationships between the rates of production and consumption of the substances involved.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Write the Balanced Chemical Equation:**
The decomposition of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) can be represented by the following balanced equation:
\[
2 \, \text{NO}_2 \, \rightarrow \, 2 \, \text{NO} + \text{O}_2
