When nitrogen gas is combined with oxygen gas to form nitrogen monoxide, according to the reaction N2 + O2 → 2NO, what can be used to measure the rate of the reaction?
A) NO formation
B) N2 consumption
C) O2 production
D) Both a and b
Nitrogen Gas
A diatomic molecular gas (N2) that constitutes 78% of the Earth's atmosphere, colorless, odorless, and mostly inert.
Nitrogen Monoxide
A colorless gas with the formula NO; it is an important signaling molecule in the body and contributes to various biological processes.
Reaction Rate
The speed at which a chemical reaction occurs, typically expressed in terms of the concentration of reactants consumed or products formed over time.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The rate of the reaction can be measured by monitoring the formation of NO (nitrogen monoxide) or the consumption of N₂ (nitrogen gas). Both of these changes directly relate to the progress of the reaction.
