Question
Classify and explain the thermodynamic system.

Solution
Thermodynamic systems can be classified as open, closed, and isolated systems on the basis of the possible transfer of heat and matter to the environment.
- An open system is a system that freely allows the exchange of energy and matter with its environment.
- A closed system does not allow the exchange of matter but allows energy to be transferred.
- An isolated system is completely sealed (isolated from its environment). Matter, as well as heat, cannot be exchanged with its environment.
