In the problem statement for Example 11-2, between “…0.1 mol% benzene.” and “You know the
infinite…” add a new sentence that reads “The absorber operates at 20 °C.”
Equation 9.48, in the middle of the page, should be numbered 9.42. The text also contains two
references to “Equation 9.48”, one above the equation and one below it, that should be changed to
“Equation 9.42”

In the bottom paragraph, there are two references to “Figure 12-1”, both of which should be changed to
“Figure 13-1”.
In the problem statement for Example 13-11, part b, change “At what temperature and composition
does the eutectic occur?” to “At what temperature and composition does the eutectic occur, according
to the model?”
In the problem statement for Example 13-11, part c, change the end from “…as the temperature is
lowered.” to “…as the temperature is lowered, according to the model.”
Change the heading for Step 5 from “The eutectic temperature and composition” to “The eutectic
temperature and composition according to the model”
At the end of the first paragraph under the “Step 5” heading, change “T = 305 K and x1 = 0.71.” to “T =
305 K and x1 = 0.67.”

In the problem statement for problem 13-29, delete the following section of text: “If you were to
improve the modeling result through the use of an excess molar Gibbs free energy model, would the
activity coefficients for the system need to be greater than or less than 1 to bring the model closer to
the experimental data? Please demonstrate how you arrived at your answer.” The text before and after
this section should remain as is, and the two margin figures should remain intact.
In the problem statement for problem 13-30, part C, change “76%” to “60%”
First line under equation 14.78, “analogous to step 4” should be “analogous to step 3”

Add a margin note immediately below the “Example 15-6” heading that says “Oxygen is treated as an
“inert” in this problem because it does not participate in the chemical reaction examined here. But it is
certainly not an “inert” compound in general. The presence of oxygen in a system that also contains
flammable/explosive compounds is a severe hazard.”
Change “HFC-134a (also known as R-134a or 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) to “R-422A (also known as R422a or ISCEON® 79”
