One of the byproducts from internal combustion engines, such as the one in your car, is nitrogen dioxide. As the exhaust passes through the catalytic converter, it forms nitrogen and oxygen. What is the balanced reaction for this process?
a) 2NO₂ → N₂ + 2O₂
b) 2NO₂ → 2NO + O₂
c) 2NO₂ → N₂O + O₂
d) 2NO₂ → N₂O₄ + O₂
