What are the three kinds of presidential primaries?
Closed, semi-closed and open.
look at the map of louisiana purchase would the area open to slavery or the area closed to slavery be the larger?
closed to slavery
How did they open tutankhamun's tomb?
They broke the plaster sealing the tomb closed.
Are you supposed to keep the doors on a wood burning fireplace open or closed when in use?
There is a vent that should be open but the door used to put the wood into the fireplace should be closed so burning embers won't fall out.
What are the characteristics of an open system?
an open system is one that exchanges heat as well as matter with the surroundings.
Why is is important to use a closed system when conducting experiments to determine the conservation of mass?
Because in an open system matter is leaving and entering, which would change the mass, effecting your results.
Is a burning candle an example of an open system or a closed system?
The light bulb is a closed system: no mass transfer.
How do you know if if mass or matter is conserved?
Well, the Law of Conservation of Mass a.k.a the Principle of Mass/Matter Conservation says that the mass of everything that is closed to all matter and energy will always remain constant over time. ~ You can only tell if mass or matter is conserved by determining if it has a closed system or an open system ~ Mass or matter is only conserved in a closed system because a closed system is a system that cannot exchange matter with its surroundings, so to say that mass or matter is conserved by being "trapped" and will stay constant. I hope this helped!! XD
What does Conservation mass mean?
The law of conservation of mass/matter, also known as principle of mass/matter conservation is that the mass of a closed system (in the sense of a completely isolated system) will remain constant over time. The mass of an isolated system cannot be changed as a result of processes acting inside the system. A similar statement is that mass cannot be created/destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, and changed into different types of particles. This implies that for any chemical process in a closed system, the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products. This is also the main idea of the first law of thermodynamics. As opposed to mass conservation, the principle of matter conservation (in the sense of conservation of particles which are agreed to be "matter") may be considered as an approximate physical law, that is true only in the classical sense, without consideration of special relativity and quantum mechanics. Another difficulty with the idea of conservation of "matter," is that "matter" is not a well-defined word scientifically, and when particles which are considered to be "matter" (such as electrons and positrons) are annihilated to make photons (which are often not considered matter) then conservation of matter does not take place, even in isolated systems. Mass is also not generally conserved in "open" systems (even if only open to heat and work), when various forms of energy are allowed into, or out of, the system (see for example, binding energy). However, the law of mass conservation for closed (isolated) systems, as viewed over time from any single inertial frame, continues to be true in modern physics. The reason for this is that relativistic equations show that even "massless" particles such as photons still add mass and energy to closed systems, allowing mass (though not matter) to be conserved in all processes where energy does not escape the system. In relativity, different observers may disagree as to the particular value of the mass of a given system, but each observer will agree that this value does not change over time, so long as the system is closed. The historical concept of both matter and mass conservation is widely used in many fields such as chemistry, mechanics, and fluid dynamics. In modern physics, only mass conservation for closed systems continues to be true exactly.
Is Car radiator analyzed as open system or closed system?
The radiator should be analyzed as an open system since mass is crossing the boundaries of the system.
What is the difference between a closed hydraulic system and an open hydraulic system?
A system which can exchange mass as well as matter with the surroundings is called anopen system.Example:- Heating of CaCo3 in an open bulb.A system which can exchange energy but not matter is called a closed system.Example:- Calcination of CaCo3 in a sealed bulb.

What is difference between open system and closed system in thermodynamics?
A system which can exchange mass as well as matter with the surroundings is called anopen system.Example:- Heating of CaCo3 in an open bulb.A system which can exchange energy but not matter is called a closed system.Example:- Calcination of CaCo3 in a sealed bulb.
What is definition of open system?
An open system is a system which can be affected by external factors. Energy of the system can be altered, total momentum, charge, etc. In a closed system, energy, mass, momentum, charge and other properties are conserved.
