Answer:

Option B and C are correct

Explanation:

Chemical reaction at equillibrium means: the rate of forward reaction equals the rate of reverse reaction. This means no product will be consumed, neither formed.

A) The concetration of H2O equals the concentration of O2. This is false.

At the equillibrium the concetnrations are constant. But not necessarily equal.

B) The rate of the forward reaction, reactants to products, equals the rate of the reverse reaction, products to reactants. This is true. IT's the definition of a the equillibrium.

C) The C-C bonds hold more energy in C6H12O6 than the C-O bonds in CO2. Hint: think teter-toter.

This is to, C-C bonds hold more energy than C-O, that's why C6H12O6 is burned, energy is released.

D) The concentration of O2 is changing at equilibrium. This is false. The concentration of O2 is constant.

Some chemists believe that satisfaction of the octet rule should be the top criterion for choosing the dominant lewis structure

Fudgin [204]

Lewis structures refers to the diagrams used to signify the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and the lone pair of electrons, which may prevail in the molecule. These structures are drawn on the basis of the formal charge of each atom within the ion or molecule.

The formal charge refers to the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, which all the electrons are shared equivalently amongst the atoms regardless of its electronegativity.

The rule for formal charge calculation is,

Formal charge = no of valency shell electron - 1/2 of the no of shared pair electron - no of lone pair electron.

So, in this case, the formal charge of P = 5 - 1/2 (10) - 0 = 0

The valence shell of P have 5 electrons. The total 5 bond is there in the given composition, so total 10 bonding electron, and there is no lone pair of electron on P atom. So, formal charge of P is 0.
