Explanation:

I'll assume you meant "spontaneous".

A spontaneous reaction is one that occurs with no catalyst or added energy. A non spontaneous reaction does not occurs without added energy. A reaction is said to be spontaneous when its free energy (#Delta G#) is negative. This can be found in the following equation:

#Delta G = Delta H -t DeltaS#
Where:
#Delta H#= change in enthalpy
#Delta S#= change in entropy
#t# = temperature of the system
