Closed and Isolated systems

[Chelsea Culi 3F]

What's the difference between a system that is closed and a system that is isolated?

[Anna Dai-Liu 3B]

Closed systems can exchange heat with the environment, but isolated systems can't exchange heat or matter with their surrounds.

[Jacqueline Wheeler 3I]

Closed systems only exchange energy with their surroundings while isolated systems do not exchange matter or energy with their surroundings.

[LouiseLin2L]

A close system can still exchange energy with the surrounding for example through heat or work, but an isolated cannot exchange anything (delta U =0).

[Neelaj Das 3I]

A closed system can still interact with its surroundings through the exchange of energy. An isolated system is completely closed off from the outside environment and no matter or energy can be exchanged.

a closed system can have exchanges with it's environment while isolated systems cannot

a closed system can have exchanges with it's environment while isolated systems cannot

Hi! Energy transfer can occur in closed systems can occur but matter is fixed. In isolated systems, there is no exchange of neither matter or energy between the system and surroundings.

[tristenleem3B]

Closed can interact with the environment, and isolated cannot exchange any energy.

[Terrence Chi]

Hi, a closed system can exchange only energy with its surroundings however, an isolated system cannot exchange either matter or energy with its surroundings. Hope this helps!

[Hannah Thornton 1F]

Isolated systems cannot exchange matter or energy with its surroundings, whereas closed systems can exchange energy.

[Achyutha Kodavatikanti_3H]

isolated systems and closed systems both cannot exchange matter with their surroundings. closed systems however can exchange energy with their surroundings, unlike isolated systems which cannot.

[Alyssa H]

A closed system is one that essentially cannot let any substances within it out, but can exchange factors like temperature with its surroundings. However, an isolated system is a closed system that cannot exchange anything with its surroundings. For example, a water bottle left outside is a closed system, but not an isolated system. It cannot let out any water because its lid is closed, but the water inside can heat up because the container heats up in the sun.

[Chris Van 2J]

A closed system can exchange energy with the environment while an isolated system cannot exchange energy or matter.

[Evonne Chau 2I]

Hi Chelsea,

In both isolated and closed systems, matter cannot be transferred between the system and surroundings. However, in a closed system, energy (like heat) can be exchanged with their surroundings. On the other hand, isolated systems cannot exchange energy with their surroundings.

[HemangD 3K]

In closed systems, energy can be transferred via heat or work. On the other hand, in an isolated system, matter and energy cannot be transferred, meaning delta U = 0.

[Ameerah Hameed 3B]

The difference between the two is a closed system can exchange energy with its surrounding while an isolated system cannot exchange heat or matter with its surrounding.

[Emily Quill 2H]

An isolated system will not have any energy change with the surroundings, unlike a closed system, which can still exchange energy with its surroundings.

[Sean Sanders 1E]

In a closed system, energy can be exchanged with the surroundings but matter cannot. In an isolated system, neither matter nor energy can be exchanged with the surroundings.

[Ivan Huang Dis 3B]

isolated systems cannot transfer energy whereas closed can

[Nyah Zhang 1E]

Closed systems can still exchange energy with their surroundings. It still fluctuates in heat and work. In an isolated system, nothing is exchanged.

[Kimberly_martinez2I]

A closed system can exchange energy with the surroundings. An isolated system can't exchange energy and matter with their surroundings.

[505734174]

The difference between a closed and isolated system is that a closed system can exchange energy with its surroundings but an isolated system cannot.

[505706331]

how would a closed system be able to exchange energy

[Neha Mukund]

A closed system can still exchange energy with its surroundings, however an isolated system cannot.

[Brenda Tran 3C]

A closed system can exchange energy, such as a thermometer, while an isolated system, like a thermos, does not exchange energy and matter.

[hanniaghernandez]

A closed system can not exchange energy while an isolated one cannot, to my understanding.

[Skylar Lo 2C]

Closed systems only exchange energy with other parts of the system while open systems can exchange energy with the environment.

[305670352]

- Closed systems only exchange energy with their surroundings
- isolated systems do not exchange matter or energy with their surroundings.

[Mahli Martinez 2I]

Closed systems are only able to exchange energy with their surroundings, meanwhile isolated systems can't exchange energy or matter with their surroundings, hence them being completely isolated.

[oliviahelou]

Isolated systems do not exchange heat or matter with the surroundings whereas closed system do.

[Jessica Sun 2I]

Closed systems can exchange heat or energy with the surroundings but cannot exchange matter while isolated systems cannot exchange either.

[Polo Morales 3C]

An isolated system cannot interact with the environment at all. A closed system might exchange heat or energy with its environment. Hope this helps!

[Aryan Gajjar 3D]

A closed system doesn't let matter in or out, but it does let energy in and out. A closed system is roughly equivalent to a covered pot on the stove. It is impossible for matter or energy to enter or exit an isolated system. A thermos or cooler is a system that is close to being isolated.

[Cynthia_L_2C]

In closed systems, there is still a an exchange of energy with its surrounds. IHowever, in an isolated environment, there is no exchange of energy at all.

[Kelly McFarlane]

A closed system cannot exchange matter but it can exchange energy while an isolated system cannot exchange matter nor energy with the surroundings.

[Allen Mayo 1E]

A closed system has a heat or energy transfer w/ surroundings while an isolated system does not.

[605823283]

Isolated systems cannot exchange matter or energy where a closed system can exchange energy

[Palig Kechichian 3F]

Closed systems can exchange heat with their surroundings, but isolated ones cannot
