How does a closed system differ from an isolated system in thermodynamics?

Options

  1. AA closed system has no boundaries, while an isolated system has physical boundaries.
  2. BA closed system allows both energy and matter exchange, while an isolated system allows only energy exchange.
  3. CA closed system allows energy exchange but not matter exchange, while an isolated system doesn't exchange ener
  4. DA closed system has flexible boundaries, while an isolated system has fixed boundaries.

Correct answer

C. A closed system allows energy exchange but not matter exchange, while an isolated system doesn't exchange ener

Step-by-step solution

Closed systems permit energy exchange with the surroundings but no matter exchange, whereas isolated systems do not exchange energy with the surroundings.
