Under what conditions will a hot pie not lose heat to its surroundings?
The conditions at which a hot pie will not lose heat to its surroundings.
Answer to Problem 15TE
In an adiabatic condition of thermal equilibrium, the hot pie will not lose heat to its surroundings.
Explanation of Solution
The process of the conversion of reactant species into the product species is called a chemical reaction.
Hot pie, will not lose the energy if it is kept in a closed container.
Thus, only in one condition, the energy of the hot pie will not change that is the adiabatic condition. Here the energy of the particular system will remain constant.
As in the adiabatic process, the heat is neither lost from the system nor is gain to the system in the reaction process.
Thus, an insulated condition is required for the adiabatic process where no change in heat will take place and no work is done on the system resulting in conservation of heat in the reaction system.
Conclusion:
Therefore, in an adiabatic condition, the hot pie will not lose heat to its surroundings.
