Question

While Gina conducts a calorimetry investigation, she observes the temperature change of a reaction in a sealed, insulated calorimeter. Would you consider the calorimeter an example of a closed, open, or isolated system? Explain your answer in complete sentences

Answer 1

Answer: A sealed, insulated calorimeter is considered as an example of a isolated system.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three types of system:

An open system is a system which allows free exchange of energy and matter with its surroundings.

A closed system is a system which allows only exchange of energy with its surroundings and not matter.

An isolated system which neither allow exchange of energy nor matter with its surroundings.

Thus in a sealed, insulated calorimeter which do not allow exchange of matter or energy is an example of isolated system.
