Isolated System
What is the point of an Isolated system? If no matter or heat can leave or enter the system and the heat and mass stay constant what would be the interest in using an Isolated system?
Re: Isolated System
An isolated system is useful to calculate changes that happen based solely on the reaction and not due to exchanges with the surrounding
Re: Isolated System
Isolated systems take away any other factors that can be impacting the reaction.

Re: Isolated System
Since the change n internal energy (delta U) is q plus w. In an isolated system you don't have any work being done so you can disregard w and that leaves you with q. So by studying isolated systems we can see how q changes on its own due to the reaction occurring.

Re: Isolated System
In an isolated system, no energy or matter leave the system right? However in a closed system energy can leave the system?

yes, in a closed system, energy can enter and leave freely.
