Answer:

Mass of mercury produced = 2.00 g

Explanation:

At room temperature and pressure, the temperature T = 25° C or 298.15 K while the pressure = 1 atmosphere or 760 mmHg.

Mass of oxide of mercury decomposed at room temperature and pressure = 2.16 g

Volume of oxygen produced = 120 cm³ or 0.12 dm³

One mole of any gas has a volume of 24 dm³ at room temperature and pressure.

Therefore, number of moles of oxygen produced = 0.12 dm³ / 24 dm³/mol = 0.005 moles

Mass of oxygen produced = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of oxygen = 32 g/mol

Mass of oxygen produced = 0.005 moles × 32 g/mol = 0.16 g

Thus, mass of mercury produced = mass of mercury oxide decomposed - mass of oxygen produced

Mass of mercury produced = 2.16 g - 0.16 g

Mass of mercury produced = 2.00 g

Variations in the solar resource are probably the first and main consideration. You can use local weather stations where available, otherwise satellite data (eg from NASA's website) or commercial databases such as Meteonorm. Also there is quite a comprehensive set of data files in the SAM software

Other important considerations are

local environment: plants and animals that could be affected by the system; community support and buy-in.wind, hail, rain, snow profile for the location in question. if there are high/tropical winds then it will increase the plant cost.flight paths and roads near the plant which could be affected by glint and glareproximity to a local town where staff will be able to live both during construction and later during operationproximity to a electricity transmission line with available capacityavailability of water for mirror cleaning and steam blowdown.cost (and availability) of electricity in the area. If remote, electricity/energy may be very expensive, which will enable a high price for electricity sold from the plant.quality of road to the plant, required to bring equipment and materials to sitepolitical stability of the region -- potential impact on perceived bankability of the project.

Many of these items will have a large influence on the cost of the plant and/or the revenue it will generate during its life. Others relate to environmental and risk factors and are also critically important to consider.

Hope this helps!!

What is the percent composition by mass of oxygen in Ca(NO3)2 (gram-formula= 164 g/mol)?
Neko [114]
To find this, we will use this formula:

Molar mass of element
------------------------------------ x 100
Molar mass of compound

So, first lets calculate the mass of the compound as a whole. We use the atomic masses on the periodic table to determine this.

Ca: 40.078 g/mol
N2 (there is two nitrogens): 28.014 g/mol
O6 (there are six nitrogens: 3 times 2): 95.994 g/mol

When we add all of those numbers up together, we get 164.086. That is the molar mass for the whole compound. However, we are trying to figure out what percent of the compound oxygen makes up. From the molar mass, we know that 95.994 of the 164.086 is oxygen. Lets plug those numbers into our equation!

95.994
-----------
164.086

When we divide those two numbers, we get .585. When we multiply that by 100, we get 58.5.

So, the percent compostition of oxygen in Ca(NO3)2, or, calcium nitrate, is 58.5%.
