Please email errors to: criss@levee.wustl.edu
| Ch. 1 | |
| p. 11 |
"These atoms have all been present since the Big Bang..." should read "These atoms have all been present since their generation in stellar interiors and novae..." Thanks to Edwin Schauble (Caltech) |
| p. 13 | Line 5 from bottom: Change "5, 8, 147, and 149" to read "5, 8, and 147" |
| p. 14 |
"the Big Bang" should read "nucleosynthesis" |
| p. 36 | Problem 8: Change "0.1 g/l" to "0.3 g/l" |
| p. 37 | Problem 14: 10 keV should read 10 kV. Thanks to Eric Steig (University of Washington). |
| p. 37 | Problem 18: Change "how many ions per second are being transitted...and what is their velocity" to "how many molecules per second are being transmitted and what is their velocity if the pressure at the entrance of the capillary is 30 torr." |
| Ch. 2 | |
| p. 41 | Here and throughout the book, the word "isotopomer" should be replaced by "isotopologue" to conform to IUPAC (1997). |
| p. 42 |
Equation 2.5c: R should be the gas constant R |
| p. 42 |
line 7 from bottom "equation 2.2a" should read
"equation 2.2b" |
| p. 43 | 2nd paragraph, lines 7-8: "equation 2.2b" should read "equation 2.6" |
| p. 76 |
Line 7 from bottom: change "18O16O" to "18O/16O" |
| p. 84 | Problem 6: Delete "or 2.8 c" Also, change "confirm their calculated abundances and confirm" to "confirm their calculated abundances with equation 2.8c and confirm" |
| Ch. 3 | |
| p. 97 | Line 10 from bottom: change "typically thousands of grams per kilogram," to "typically thousands of milligrams per kilogram" |
| p. 127 | Line 7: Change "may shorter or longer" to read "may be shorter or longer" |
| p.133 | Problem 1: For water sample J, the salinity should be 1.95 percent, not 19.5 per cent. |
| Ch. 4 | |
| p. 144 |
Equation 4.16 and in the following line: R should be the gas constant R |
| p. 167 | Equation 4.49b: Change the right
hand term from VÑ·C
to read V·ÑC.
Also, in line 3 from bottom, change "where Ñ·C
is the divergence of the concentration" to "where ÑC
is the concentration gradient." [Ñ is the grad symbol, which may display incorrectly if you are not using MS Internet Explorer.] |
| Ch. 5 | |
| p. 217 |
Change "...the average temperature of interaction of about 350°C..." to "...the average temperature of interaction of about 250°C..." Thanks to Hugh Taylor (Caltech) |
| Appendix | |
| p. 240 |
Left hand side of equation A.3.10.4: Change "n2mm" to "n2Mm" |
| p. 241 | Equation A.3.12.4: For more accuracy in Stirling’s approximation, add the term 0.5ln(2πx) to the terms x ln x – x |
