Ps:It's not accepting a negative number. ### Coupled Chemical Reactions and Thermodynamic Equilibrium#### IntroductionWhen the oxide of a generic metal \( \text{M} \) is heated at \( 25.0^\circ \text{C} \), a negligible amount of metal \( \text{M} \) is produced. The reaction is represented by the following chemical equation:\[ \text{MO}_2(s) \rightleftharpoons \text{M}(s) + \text{O}_2(g) \hspace{2cm} \Delta G^\circ = 286.2 \, \frac{\text{kJ}}{\text{mol}} \]This reaction, when coupled with the conversion of graphite to carbon dioxide, becomes spontaneous. #### Coupled Chemical EquationTo find the chemical equation for the coupled process, we combine the given reaction with the combustion of graphite (graphite is represented as \( \text{C}(s) \)):\[ \text{C}(s) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{CO}_2(g) \]Combining these two reactions:\[ \text{MO}_2(s) + \text{C}(s) \rightleftharpoons \text{M}(s) + \text{CO}_2(g) \]This combined reaction represents the overall process in equilibrium.#### Thermodynamic Equilibrium ConstantThe thermodynamic equilibrium constant \( K \) for the coupled reaction can be calculated from the Gibbs free energy change (\( \Delta G^\circ \)) for the coupled reaction. The relationship is given by:\[ K = \exp\left(-\frac{\Delta G^\circ}{RT}\right) \]where \( R \) is the gas constant and \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvins.The given equilibrium constant for the coupled reaction is:\[ K = 9.248 \times 10^{18} \]This high value of the equilibrium constant indicates that at equilibrium, the reaction heavily favors the formation of products \( \text{M}(s) \) and \( \text{CO}_2(g) \).### ConclusionBy coupling the reduction of metal oxide with the combustion of graphite, the reaction becomes thermodynamically spontaneous. This explains how favorable conditions can be achieved to produce metal \( \text{M} \) from its oxide at standard temperatures.

A chemical equation is not a number. We have to put a proper equilibrium coupled chemical equation…

Why does the x go from:-0.9968x = -0.0025To:x= 0.0025x/0.9968And not:x= 0.9968/0.0025Wouldn't the negatives simply be ignored and the x would remain with:0.9968x and then you divide then 0.0025 without the coefficient x to get the value of x by cancelling out the 0.9968?
