Question

Select the correct answer.

In an isolated system, two copper bars at different temperatures transfer energy until both are at the same temperature. How would the
transfer of energy be different if the bars were in an open system?


O A. Energy transfer would occur only between the copper bars.
OB. Energy transfer would occur between the copper bars and the surroundings.
Ос. No energy transfer would occur between the copper bars or the surroundings.
OD. Energy transfer would occur only with the surroundings.

Answer 1

OB. Energy transfer would occur between the copper bars and the surroundings.

Step-by-step explanation:

We define an isolated system as a system in which there is neither exchange of material nor energy while an open system is one in which materials and energy can be exchanged with the environment.

Given an open system consisting of two copper bars at different temperatures, energy will not only be exchanged between the copper bars but also between the copper bars and the environment.
