A reaction will occur spontaneously when the change in free energy is negative not free energy.

Gibbs free energy is zero for equilibrium reaction.

We know that free energy is capacity of system to do work. So if the work is done by the system; the the free energy of the system should be negative.

You are Absolutely right @Kathiresan.

As we know that Delta g = -sdeltat +vdeltap.

As the question say constant t and p then Delta g is zero.

@ Raj Musale.

When work is done by the system the change in free energy is positive, not negative.

But when work is done on the system. Negative then.

Interpretation:.

ΔG<0 → Spontaneous reaction.
ΔG=0 → System is at equilibrium.
ΔG>0 → Non-spontaneous reaction.
