Systems in Science

What is a closed system in science?

• A closed system in science is a system that only exchanges matter with its surroundings, but not energy.

• A closed system in science is a system that does not exchange matter with its surroundings, but can exchange energy.

• A closed system in science is a system that exchanges both matter and energy with its surroundings.

• A closed system in science is a system that does not exchange matter or energy with its surroundings.

Explain the concept of an open system.

• An open system is a system that remains static and does not change over time.

• An open system is a system that interacts with its environment, exchanging matter and energy with it.

• An open system is a system that operates in isolation without any external interactions.

• An open system is a system that only exchanges matter with its environment.

Give an example of an open system.

• Sealed container

• Closed jar

• Vacuum-sealed bag

• Pot of boiling water

Define an isolated system.

• A system that interacts with its surroundings constantly.

• A system that has no boundaries.

• A system that does not interact with its surroundings.

• A system that is in equilibrium with its surroundings.

How does an isolated system differ from closed and open systems?

• An isolated system is always in equilibrium, while closed and open systems are not

• An isolated system does not exchange matter or energy with its surroundings, while closed and open systems do.

• An isolated system has a fixed volume, unlike closed and open systems

• An isolated system allows matter exchange but not energy exchange with its surroundings

How do closed systems interact with their surroundings?

• Closed systems interact with their surroundings by exchanging only matter.

• Closed systems interact with their surroundings by exchanging matter and energy.

• Closed systems interact with their surroundings by not exchanging any energy.

• Closed systems interact with their surroundings by exchanging energy (heat or work) but not matter.

In what scenarios would an isolated system be used in scientific experiments?

• An isolated system would be used when researchers want to conduct experiments in a controlled environment.

• An isolated system would be used when researchers want to introduce external factors to observe their impact on the experiment.

• An isolated system would be used when researchers want to speed up the process of data collection.

• An isolated system would be used in scientific experiments when researchers want to study a specific phenomenon without any external influences affecting the results.

Match the following

• open system

• 
• isolated system

• 
• closed system
