If the exchange of matter and energy both takes place between the system and the surroundings, it is known as:

Correct answer: A. Open system

  • A. Open system
  • B. Closed system
  • C. Isolated system
  • D. Heterogeneous system

Explanation

An open system is one where both matter and energy can be exchanged with the surroundings. This is in contrast to a closed system, which allows only energy exchange, and an isolated system, which does not allow the exchange of matter or energy. A heterogeneous system refers to a system composed of different phases and does not inherently relate to the exchange of matter and energy.
