FW: Errors in section 14 .4 of the textbook - incorrect slope relationship for zero-order rxn

[Zellmer, Robert]

I sent the following out earlier today but perhaps people didn't realize what
this was about from the original subject line.

Subject: Errors in section 14 .4 of the textbook

There's two errors in the subsection for zero-order reactions (p. 585 in the textbook
and p. 505 in the eText).

In the paragraph after equation 14.16 (the integrated rate eqn) and Figure 14.9
it states the slope of a zero-order plot for a zero-order reaction is -kt. This is
incorrect.  The slope is simply "-k".

I hope this clears up a few things.
