If change in free energy (G) is positive, how do those reactions still occur?

I was doing a couple of problems for homework: Calculate $K_\mathrm{sp}$ of $\ce{AgI}$ at $55.0\ \mathrm{^\circ C}$ Calculate $K_\mathrm{b}$ of $\ce{NH3}$ at $36.0\ \mathrm{^\circ C}$ I have to use ...

How to calculate Gibbs free energy from pKa?

Is it possible to calculate Gibbs free energy ($ΔG = -RT\ln K_\mathrm{eq}$) of an acid dissociation reaction using the $\mathrm{p}K_\mathrm{a}$? If so, how?
