Does a closed system obey the law of conservation of matter? Write one or two sentences explaining your answer

zarkam21:

No, it does not because matter is not going in or out?

zarkam21:

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

matter is not entering or leaving, which is why the law *is* obeyed because the total mass is staying constant

zarkam21:

A hot piece of iron is placed into a container of water. Describe two ways in which heat is transferred in this system.

zarkam21:

Radiation and convection

zarkam21:

radiation because of the electromagnetic waves

Vocaloid:

I'm not sure about radiation, where would it be coming from

zarkam21:

convection because it is going through a solid object

Vocaloid:

going through a solid object would be conduction, convection is for heat transfer through fluids

zarkam21:

Convection, because the heat from the hot iron is transfered through water (fluids)

Vocaloid:

good, so conduction + convection

zarkam21:

If 0.20 kg of iron at 100°C is added to 1.00 kg of water at 20.0°C, what is the final temperature of the system? Show your work.

zarkam21:

21.7 degrees C?

Vocaloid:

good
