If a particular process is endothermic, the reverse process must be an
exothermic process. This is because, when the endothermic process
occurs, the substance takes energy from its surroundings. The reverse
of this reaction would be for the substance to release energy into its
surrounding. Therefore, the answer is exothermic.

Answer:

The correct answer is none of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a particular process is endothermic, there can be no assurance that the reverse process is exothermic, since some exothermic processes do not occur at certain pressures and temperatures. In general, the pressure and temperature conditions under which the reverse process is performed should be established.

Have a nice day!
