There is another free energy state function, the Helmholtz free energy (A), defined as A = E

Question:

There is another free energy state function, the Helmholtz free energy (A), defined as A = E – TS. Comparing this to the definition of G, we see that internal energy has replaced enthalpy in the definition. Under what conditions would this free energy tell us whether or not a process is spontaneous?
