Solution

Any changes which can be reversed or are a temporary conversion are known as reversible changes.
Processes such as melting, boiling, evaporation, freezing, condensation, and dissolution are reversible changes.
Salt can be separated from the water solution by evaporating the water.
Therefore, the dissolving of salt in water is a reversible change.
