NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
Is it possible for an isolated system to undergo temperature changes without violating thermodynamic principles? Why or why not?
Options
- AYes, because isolated systems can exchange energy with the surroundings.
- BNo, because isolated systems are perfectly insulated and cannot exchange energy.
- CYes, but only if the isolated system is open to the surroundings.
- DNo, because isolated systems do not exist in practice.
Correct answer
B. No, because isolated systems are perfectly insulated and cannot exchange energy.
Step-by-step solution
Isolated systems, by definition, do not exchange energy with the surroundings, making temperature changes unlikely without violating thermodynamic principles.
