2.Calculate the specific enthalpy change in kJ / kg-C of the following processes:
a) cyclohexane gas in a process from T0 = 300C to Ft= 900 C
b) hydrocyanic acid gas from T0 = 900C to Ft = 300 C.
Which of the two processes requires more energy? Which one would you use to heat a stream of 100mol / h water that must enter a heater at 25ºC and leave at 80ºC? Would it reach you?

Rocks collected on the coast of northern Greenland, at a latitude of 76.5 degrees North are brought into the paleomagnetic lab for study. You collect a number of samples and find that the magnetic field preserved within them varies slightly, but that the group has an average inclination of -75 degrees and a declination of 135 degrees. Geochemical dating show that all the rocks are 60 My old.
2) describe how these rocks have moved since forming (Be as specific as possible) and determine at what speed must these rocks have traveled since their formation? is this a minimum or maximum estimate of their velocity?
