Question

PLEASE HURRY AND ANSWER!!!!!! Explain the difference between an open and closed system. Provide an example of a system that is open and a system that is closed to matter. Explain your examples.

Answer 1

An open system can exchange both matter and energy with the surroundings, like a coffee cup

A closed system has a fixed amount of matter, but it can exchange energy with the surroundings, like a bottle of water.

An isolated system has no contact with its surroundings, like a thermos.

Answer 2

An open system is affected when something comes in from the outside or something leaves the system. Ex. A mug is an open system heat can escape from it. A closed system is nothing goes in or out. Ex pouring hot water into a thermos and closing it all the heat stays in. Hope this helps :)
