In a thermally isolated system, the amount of heat lost is ____ the amount of heat gained.
A
Equal to
B
Greater than
C
Lesser than
D
More information is needed.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In all cases, the amount of heat lost by a system is equal to the amount of heat gained by its surroundings and vice versa. That is, the total energy of a system plus its surroundings is constant, which must be true if energy is conserved.

Detailed explanation-2: -Calorimeter Principle The body at higher temperature releases heat while the body at lower temperature absorbs heat. The principle of calorimetry indicates the law of conservation energy, i.e. the total heat lost by the hot body is equal to the total heat gained by the cold body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The principle of calorimetry (or principle of mixtures) states that for an insulated system, heat energy lost by the hot body is equal to the heat energy gained by the cold body. Note: Heat transfer occurs until both the bodies attain the same temperature(t).

Detailed explanation-4: -If there are no heat losses to the surroundings, the quantity of heat gained by the cold body is equal to the quantity of heat lost by the hot body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Temperature of the body. Mass of the body. The material of the body. The shape of the body.
