615 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.

693 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.”
