Chemistry C2 4.8 Energy and reversible reactions

?
Is a reversible reaction exothermic or endothermic?
In reversible reactions, the reaction in one direction is exothermic and in the other direction it is endothermic.

In a reversible reaction, what is the amount of energy released equal to?
In any reversible reaction, the amount of energy released when the reaction goes in one direction is exactly equal to the energy absorbed when the reaction goes in the opposite direction.

What are the characteristics of a reversible reaction?
Forward and reverse reactions involve equal but opposite energy transfers; if exothermic in one direction then endothermic in the other direction; energy released by the exothermic reaction exactly equals amount taken in by the endothermic reaction.
