Detailed Solution

Thermodynamic feasibility of a reaction depends on Gibbs free energy i.e. $∆ G$ must be negative for a spontaneous process, while its value should be positive for a non-spontaneous process.
Kinetic feasibility depends on the Activation energy of the reaction.
Lesser the Activation energy, greater is the feasibility of the reaction.
For example, for the reaction, $Diamond \to Graphite, ∆ G = - ve$ .
This process is thermodynamically feasible, but it is very slow due to its high activation energy.
