There is in error in the solutions manual to the end-of-chapter exercise 14.40(c).
This is about whether the half-life for a 2nd order reaction changes or remains
the same as the reaction proceeds.  The solutions manual states the half-life for
2nd-order is constant over the course of the reaction.  This is incorrect.  It inc.
as the conc. for each half-life decreases (inverse relationship). Remember,
you're suppose to show for yourself that each successive half-life doubles.
