Thermodynamic Systems Quiz

A thermodynamic system refers to a quantity of matter or a region in space that is chosen for analysis. It can be defined by specifying its boundaries and the surroundings.

The surroundings in a thermodynamic system refer to everything outside the system boundaries. It includes the external environment and any other systems with which it can exchange energy or matter.

The boundary of a thermodynamic system is the real or imaginary surface that separates the system from its surroundings. It can be classified as open, closed, or isolated, depending on the exchange of matter and energy across the boundary.
