Solution

Dear student!
Generally chemical changes involve formation of a new compound so that there occurs the release in energy which is lost in environment. Further, if any gas is released it also mixes with air and so it becomes impossible to reverse the reaction.
But, some chemical changes are reversible too in nature.
