Question

Write in words the Conservation Equation and State what is meant by an Open System and a Closed System

Answer 1

Conversation equation: energy entering − energy leaving = change of energy within the system

An open system is one that freely allows both energy and matter to be transferred in an out of a system. For example, boiling water without a lid.Heat escaping into the air.Steam (which is matter) escaping into the air.

A closed system, on the other hand, does not allow the exchange of matter but allows energy to be transferred.It allows heat to be transferred from the stove to the water.
