The Gibbs free energy (ΔGrxn) tells us whether a reaction will take place. ΔGrxn is the Gibbs Free Energy of the right hand side of a reaction, minus the Gibbs Free Energy of the left hand side. If ΔGrxn < 0, the reaction will proceed to the right; if it is > 0, the reaction will proceed to the left.
