Relationship between equilibrium constant K, reaction quotient Q and Gibbs energy G

We know that if,  ΔG is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous and proceeds in the forward direction. ΔG is positive, then reaction is considered non-spontaneous. Instead, as reverse reaction would take place  ΔG is 0, reaction has achieved equilibrium; at this point, there is no longer any free energy left to drive the reaction.
