What is the difference between open and closed chemical systems?
What is the difference between open and closed chemical systems?
- Open systems allow neither matter nor energy exchange, while closed systems allow energy exchange
- Open systems allow both matter and energy exchange, while closed systems allow only energy exchange
- Open systems allow matter and energy exchange with the surroundings, while closed systems only allow energy exchange (correct)
- Open systems only allow energy exchange, while closed systems allow both matter and energy exchange
