Question
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. However, energy can move between the system and the surroundings. Energy that is lost by the system, is gained by the surroundings. Energy gained by the system, is lost by the surroundings. The total amount of energy of the system and the surroundings, however, remains the same.
