The reaction is exothermic
saponification is considered to be the reverse process of an esterification reaction due to the fact that esterification is combining an alcohol and a carboxylic acid but a saponification is breaking apart the ester by adding an NaCl molecule (soap) to the chain of carbons.
Catalysts affect reaction rates by providing an alternate route of reaction with lower activation energy. Therefore, they speed up the process they are catalyzing in both the forward and reverse directions.
Redox is what is needed to reverse a biochemical reaction. The redox is used in science.
At equilibrium, the reaction rate of the forward reaction and the reverse reaction are equal to one another. This means that the products of the forward reaction are being made at the same speed as the products of the reverse reaction.
The reverse reaction is endothermic and spontaneous.
The reverse reaction is endothermic and nonspontaneous.
The reverse reaction is exothermic and spontaneous.
The reaction is exothermic
Negative entropy is a process or chemical reaction proceeds spontaneously in the forward direction.Positive entropy is a process proceeds spontaneously in reverse.
The process will reverse if you lower the temperature again.
A process will be spontaneous when the change in Gibbs free energy is negative.The change in Gibbs free energy can be calculated from the equation:G2 - G1 = H2 - H1 - T(S2 - S1)whereG is Gibbs free energyH is EnthalpyT is absolute temperature (when T is given in Kelvin or Rankine it is an absolute temperature)S is EntropyIn this caseH2 - H1 = 125 kJT = 293 KS2 - S1 = 35 J/K = 0.035 kJ/Kso doing the math you getG2 - G1 = 125 - 293(0.35) = 22.45 > 0 so the process is not spontaneous in the direction where enthalpy change and entropy change are being measured. The reverse process would be spontaneous.

The product and reactants reach a final, unchanging level.
The Zinc metal is oxidized, while the Copper ion is reduced. The reverse reaction, the oxidation of Copper and the reduction of Zinc ion, is not spontaneous.
