Answer:

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed - only altered in form.

The second law of thermodynamics states that no matter what process takes place inside the container, its entropy must increase or remain constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is done with energy transfer, which is associated with crossing the control boundary, external work, or heat transfer across the boundary. This produces a change of stored energy within the control volume.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can be converted from one form to another with the interaction of heat, work and internal energy, but it cannot be created nor destroyed, under any circumstances.

In this case the second law of thermodynamics (in the simplified form presented here) says that no matter what process takes place inside the container, its entropy must increase or remain the same in the limit of a reversible process.
