Yes, they can occur spontaneously. This can be explained by entropy (measure of randomness/dispersion in a chemical system).

For example;

NH4NO3(s) + aq --> NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq).

The solid ammonium nitrate is converted to liquid ions. Therefore, the entropy increases, so the reaction can take place spontaneously.
