delta_G_{standard} = -RT ln(K) = -. These three quantities are interconnected: if < 0, then K > 1 and E > 0 (spontaneous forward reaction). If > 0, then K < 1 and E < 0. At equilibrium: = 0 (not delta_G_{standard}). delta_G_{standard} tells us about standard conditions; tells us about actual conditions. = delta_G_{standard} + RT ln(Q). When Q < K: < 0 (forward). When Q > K: > 0 (reverse). When Q = K: = 0 (equilibrium).
