List 3 statements about systems and surroundings
A system is anything that is under observation in a reaction.
The surrounding is anything that is not a party of a system.
The universe=system+ surroundings
What is an open system?
An open system can exchange energy, and matter, with its surroundings
What is a closed system?
A closed system can exchange energy, but not matter with its surroundings
What is isolated system?
An isolated system cannot exchange energy or matter with its surroundings
