Answer:
Reversible Process;
A reversible process is one in which both the system and its environment can return to exactly the states they were in by following the reverse path.
Examples of reversible reactions include dissolving, evaporation, melting and freezing.
Irreversible Process;
An irreversible process is one in which the system and its environment cannot return together to exactly the states that they were in.
An example of an irreversible process is electric current flow through a conductor with a resistance. An example of an irreversible process is magnetization or polarization with hysteresis
