Well, by definition....

Explanation:

#DeltaG=DeltaH - TDeltaS#

And thus the #"Gibbs' Free energy"# contains an enthalpy term, and an entropy term. And if #DeltaG<"ZERO"# the reaction is spontaneous as written, and therefore thermodynamically favoured.

The standard #"Gibbs' Free energy"# can be related to the thermodynamic equilibrium constant...i.e. #DeltaG^@=-RTlnK_"eq"#...and thus only negative values of #DeltaG^@# give rise to an equilibrium constant GREATER than ONE....
