Card 12 / 31:
Explain in your own terms the difference between a spontaneous reaction and one that occurs instantaneously, and what causes this difference.
A spontaneous reaction is one that has a negative ∆G and thus releases energy. However, a spontaneous reaction need not occur quickly or suddenly like an instantaneous reaction. It may occur over long periods of time due to a large energy of activation, which prevents the reaction from occurring quickly.
