If a chemical reaction is reversed, what happens to the enthalpy of the reaction?

Enthalpy change depends on the direction of the reaction. Reversing a reaction swaps the products and reactants, so the enthalpy change keeps the same magnitude but changes sign; for example, +50 kJ becomes −50 kJ. Therefore, the correct choice is “The sign of the enthalpy of the reaction reverses.”
