A spontaneous processes takes place on its own without the external influence. Once started, a spontaneous processes proceeds on its own, without the continuous external help. For spontaneous processes, the change in Gibbs free energy is negative (ΔG0).
Examples of spontaneous processes:
1) Heat flows from hotter body to a colder body.
2) A solid KCl spontaneously dissolves in water.
A non-spontaneous processes does not takes place on its own. It needs continuous external influence.
Once started, a non-spontaneous processes will stop, when the continuous external force is withdrawn.
For non-spontaneous processes, the change in Gibbs free energy is positive (ΔG>0).
Examples of non-spontaneous processes:
1) Flow of heat from inside of refrigerator to the room. Room is at higher temperature than refrigerator.
2) Boiling of water.

In the reaction A + 2B ⇌ 2C, if 2 moles of A, 3 moles of B and 2 moles of C are placed in a 2 L flask and
the equilibrium concentration of C is 0.5 mol/L. The equilibrium constant (KC) for the reaction is.....and please tell how you know that the reaction is going forward .. imean how to calculate the reaction quotient ???
