1)Equilibrium is the state in which the concentrations of the molecules in the reactant and product are equal.
2)The total amount of reactant and product molecules, as well as the total amount of Gibbs free energy, can all have an impact on the equilibrium's general state.
3)Gibbs energy or Gibbs free energy is the thermodynamic entity.
4)Change in Gibbs free energy is defined as the difference in change in enthalpy with the product of Temperature and change in entropy.
5)This can be mathematically represented as follows:

∆ G = ∆ H - T ∆ S

6)Where

∆ G

denotes the change in Gibbs energy,

∆ H

is the change in enthalpy T is the temperature and

∆ S

is the entropy.
7)Gibbs free energy can be greater than 0, less than 0, and equal to 0.
8)If Gibbs free energy is greater than 0 the reaction is a non-spontaneous reaction.
9)If Gibbs free energy is less than 0 the reaction is a spontaneous reaction.
10)If Gibbs free energy is equal to 0 the reaction is in equilibrium.
11)In contrast to non-spontaneous reactions, which require some external efforts to continue, spontaneous reactions can occur without the need for any external or internal force.
