Explanation:

The concept applied here is the application of change of state as such ,

A reversible reaction is one that can go in both ways, that is the forward reaction can react to produce the product and the backward reaction can also react to give back the reactants. In a reversible reaction, no new substances are formed and the heat evolved is not much compared to Irreversible reaction.

An Irreversible reaction is one that can not go in both ways. i.e reactants can react to give products but products cant react to give back the reactants. In irreversible reaction, new substances are formed and a huge amount of heat is evolved.

There is reversibility between melting point and freezing point, the differences is if the solid is melting above its melting point, in such case, it is an irreversible reaction.
