For the reaction 4 HBr(g) + O2 (g) 2 H2O(g) + 2 Br2 (g), the rate of

A) disappearance of O2 (g) equals the rate of disappearance of HBr(g).

B) disappearance of O2 (g) is four times the rate of disappearance of HBr(g).

C) appearance of Br2 (g) is half the rate of disappearance of HBr(g).

D) appearance of Br2 (g) is half the rate of disappearance of O2 (g).
