What is the difference between a reaction that happens spontaneously and a reaction that doesn't?

The difference can be clarified by entropy (the second rule of thermodynamics).
The reaction is more spontaneous with higher entropy, for the reactions that occur spontaneously the entropy is higher than for the ones that do not.

Energenitcally, a spontaneous reaction will have a negative value for ∆G (Gibbs Free Energy), and a non spontaneous reaction will have a positive value.

What the difference between reaction and response?
A reaction is what happens to the body when a stimulus is applied, a response is what happens next; i.e a stimulus illicits a reaction which illicits a respose. For example, glucose in the blood (a stimulus) causes the pancreas to release insulin (a reaction), which in turn causes the cells to take up glucose from the blood (a response).
What happens when copper and ammonia comes into contact?
There is no reaction between them
What is a chemical reaction between a substance and air called?
A Combustion reaction. It usually happens between a gas and oxygen. The products are CO2 and H2O.
What happens between NaClO and CaCo3 in a chemical reaction?
caclo+naco3
What is the word equation for the reaction that happens between sodium and oxygen?
Na2O
What is the difference between normal reaction and abnormal reaction?
Normal reaction happens when the reaction is normal. Abnormal reaction happens when the reaction is abnormal.
What happens when Florine and Cesium react?
When Cesium and Florine react they create a hyper logic reaction, a hyper logic reaction is when two reactive substances combine they com-bust spontaneously.
What is the difference between a chemical reaction that happenes only once and a chemical reaction associated with life?
a chemical reaction that happens once cannot be reversible while d one with lifewill continue to reproduce
What is the difference between exergonic and endergonic reaction?
Endergonic takes energy in to make a reaction. Exergonic releases energy when the reaction happens. An example of endergonic would be when plants use photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide and water molecules would be the reactants and when the plant absorbs energy like the sun, the turn it into sugar molecules that are high in energy. An example of an exergonic reaction would be wood burning. Heat and light is released.
