Re: Difference between isolated and insulated systems
Insulated systems can exchange mass with its system while isolated systems can exchange neither heat energy or mass.
Re: Difference between isolated and insulated systems
In addition, in an insulated system, there are no changes with surroundings, with only a potential exchange of mass.

Re: Difference between isolated and insulated systems
In a closed system, mass cannot exchange with the surroundings, but energy can. In an insulated system, heat transfer (energy) is restricted, but mass exchange can still occur.

Re: Difference between isolated and insulated systems
an isolated system is insulated because insulated means that energy in the form of heat cannot be transferred between the system and the surroundings. And isolated system is also closed because it does not allow any movement of actual molecules and atoms in and out of the system.
