Describe what happens to the system inside of a refrigerator or freezer in terms of heat transfer, work, and conservation of energy. Confine yourself to time periods in which the door is closed. A. Work is done on the system and heat is transferred from the system for a net decrease in internal energy.
B. Work is done on the system and heat is transferred into the system for a net increase in internal energy.
C. Work is done by the system and heat is transferred into the system for a net decrease in internal energy.
D. Work is done by the system and heat is transferred from the system for a net decrease in internal energy.

A. Work is done on the system and heat is transferred from the system for a net decrease in internal energy.

Explanation:

A refrigerator is a device which dispenses heat from the close system to a warmer area or in the surrounding. By dispensing the heat the internal temperature of the refrigerator drops. The system of refrigerator violates the second law of thermodynamics. As it performs the work to cool the region instead of heating the region. The work is done on the system and the internal energy decreases and the heat energy is liberated to the surrounding area. A refrigerator is an open system.
