Thermodynamics

Types of the system

Open system: Exchange of heat and matter between

system and surrounding is possible. for example:
presence of reactants in open beaker.
Closed system: There is no exchange of matter, but
exchange of heat is possible.
for example: presence of reactants in closed vessel.
Isolated system : there is no exchange of energy or
matter between system and surrounding.
for example : presence of reactants in a thermos flask.

vacuum until its total volume is 10L.
(i) How much heat is absorbed and how much work is done in the
expansion?
(ii) How much heat is absorbed if this system expands against a constant
external pressure of 1 atm?
(iii) How much heat is absorbed if the expansion is conducted reversibly
at 298K.
