Question

match the description to the system type.
a.
the system interacts with the external environment that is outside of the system’s boundary to exchange materials.
b.
the system cannot exchange any heat, work, or matter with the surroundings.
c.
the system does not interact or exchange materials with the outside environment.
1.
open
2.
closed
3.
partially visible

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each description and system type:

For "a" and "1. Open":

An open system exchanges materials (and often energy) with the external environment. The description for "a" says the system interacts with the external environment to exchange materials, so "a" matches "1. Open".

For "c" and "2. Closed":

A closed system does not exchange matter with the surroundings (but can exchange energy like heat/work). The description for "c" says the system does not interact or exchange materials with the outside environment, so "c" matches "2. Closed".

For "b" (assuming the third system type is "Isolated"):

An isolated system cannot exchange heat, work, or matter with the surroundings. The description for "b" says the system cannot exchange any heat, work, or matter with the surroundings, so "b" would match the isolated system (though it’s not fully shown, we infer based on thermodynamics definitions).

Final Matches:

• a → 1. Open
• b → 3. Isolated (assuming the third option is Isolated)
• c → 2. Closed

(Note: If the third system type is "Isolated", the full matches are:

1. Open - a
2. Closed - c
3. Isolated - b)
