What type of system allows energy but not matter to enter and exit?
In an open system,both energy and matter flow.In an closed system only energy flow.In an isolated system neither energy nor matter flow.
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
In physical science not biology what is the difference between a closed system and an open system?
A closed system does not allow for energy or matter to enter or leave the system.
In terms of energy what kind of system is earth?
With respect to matter, Earth is a closed system and with respect to energy, Earth is an open system.
Does an isolated system allow matter and energy to enter or exit?
An isolated system does not exchange energy or matter with its surrounding.
Is the system in the law conservation of mass lab is an closed or open system?
closed
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.
In terms of matter is the biosphere a closed system or an open system?

How does an open system contrast with a closed system?
An open system allows for the exchange of matter and energy between the system and outside of the system. A closed system only allows the exchange of energy; not matter.
Is earth an open or closed system in terms of matter?
It's both closed and open systems.
What type of system allows energy but not matter to enter and exit?
In an open system,both energy and matter flow.In an closed system only energy flow.In an isolated system neither energy nor matter flow.

Difference between opensystem and closed system?
An open system allows for exchanges of matter and energy with its environment, while a closed system does not allow for exchange of matter but may allow exchange of energy. In an open system, there is a constant flow of input and output, whereas in a closed system, the total amount of matter remains constant.
What is the difference between an Open vs. a Closed System in a chemical reaction?
In a closed system, matter does not change. In an open system there is a free flow of matter in and out so you can exchange particles, lose particles or gain particles from the outside 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.
In physical science not biology what is the difference between a closed system and an open system?
A closed system does not allow for energy or matter to enter or leave the system.
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.
