Closed system has no mass transfer, but energy may transfer across the system boundary thus it is also known as control mass system.

A closed system is termed as a control mass because it does not exchange mass with its surroundings. This means that no mass enters or leaves the system, and therefore the total mass within the system remains constant. This allows for the analysis of the system's energy changes and thermodynamic processes in isolation, making it a control mass for studying energy transfers and conservation.

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.


Is it i c engine is example of closed thermodynamic system?

No, even though they both gives energy but they are differ from where they get the energy for us to use. I C energy or Internal Combustion engine is getting the energy from the chemical to turn into a mechanical energy by means of burning the fuel. While closed thermodynamic system is one of the 3 kinds of thermodynamic, can exchange energy as a heat from outside system or from its surroundings, but not matter. Earth is an example of closed thermodynamic energy its getting the source of energy from the sun but no exchanging of mass outside.

How might the law of conservation of matter apply to daily life?

Law of conservation of mass shows that matter is conserved no matter what it undergoes. Some examples are ice cubes that melt to give same mass of liquid, oxidation of copper and closed metamorphic systems.

What is a closed system in thermodynamics?

A thermodynamically closed system is one where no mass enters or leaves the system. That does not preclude the possibility of heat or work entering or leaving the system.


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


How does the mass of the products in a chemical equation compare to the mass of a reaction?

In a closed system, the mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants.
