What is the difference between a closed system and open system chemical reactions?

In a closed system, no matter can enter or leave the system, while in an open system matter can enter or leave the system. This means that closed systems are isolated from their surroundings, while open systems can exchange matter with their surroundings. Chemical reactions that occur in closed systems can potentially reach equilibrium, while those in open systems may continue until one or more reactants are depleted.


Is burning a candle a open or closed system?

Burning a candle is considered an open system. An open system allows for the exchange of matter and energy with its surroundings. In the case of a burning candle, it releases heat and light energy into the surroundings, as well as combustion byproducts like carbon dioxide and water vapor. This exchange of energy and matter with the environment classifies it as an open system.


Is a burning candle an example of an opened system or a closed system?

A burning candle is an example of an open system because it exchanges both energy (in the form of heat and light) and mass (as the candle wax burns) with its surroundings.

Is the phosphorus cycle open or closed?

The phosphorus cycle is considered a closed system because phosphorus does not have a gaseous phase and tends to remain in the solid or dissolved form in ecosystems. This means that phosphorus is continuously recycled within ecosystems through processes like weathering, uptake by plants, and decomposition.
