At equilibrium which one is zero? Delta Go or delta G? There are different pages in the course reader where they are both zero while the other one is equal to a formula. I'm confused.
Thank you

Re: at equilibrium
the equation
deltaG0=-RTlnK
is used to find the change in standard gibbs free energy at certain equilibrium constants. Therefore you can infer from this that at equilibrium deltaG0 is not zero, making deltaG the term that is zero when a reaction is at equilibrium.
