FW: Errors in section 14 .3 of the textbook - incorrect slope relationship for zero-order rxn

[Zellmer, Robert]

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

Subject: Errors in section 14 .3 of the textbook

There are two errors in section 14.3, subsection for zero-order reactions.

In the paragraph after equation 14.16 (the integrated rate eqn) and in
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.
