Question

Show that in an isolated system, energy can be transformed from one form to another, but cannot
be destroyed using a thermodynamic approach. Explain briefly what happens in an open system.

Answer 1

This is because the system has no connection to the outside world, but in the event of an open system, energy can escape or interchange. Therefore, the statement does not remain valid for an open system
