Error
The use of the same "Chemical Kinetics" page to introduce a broad variety of different subjects becomes rather redundant in my opinion. In most circumstances I simply skip over this page and move on to the new material. Perhaps a more concise summary could be given with a perspective that relates more strongly to the specific subject that is to be discussed.
An error was found in the calculation of the net change in enthalpy per mole. The -393.5 quantity was erroneously added in the left side of the equation. The recognition of this error was posted to the "problems with text" forum.
There was a small error in the equation found in the first example. The 844 kg was mistakenly written as 8.44 kg in the equation. This typo was reported to the "minor typos" forum.
The introductory format that was initially implemented has been replaced by a different format for readings of October 9th and later. However, the old format has not been replaced for all readings that come before October 9th, beginning with the "Molecules in Living Systems" page. In my opinion, the new format is much less clunky and gives a better outline of the reading and therefore should be implemented for all readings. At the very least, a consistent introductory page-format must be chosen at some point. Justin Shorb has been notified by email with this opinion.
In the November 9th reading, on the Calculating the Extent of a Reaction page, there is a small spelling error in example one. This edit has been made in my chemPRIME account.
There were four minor typos found on this page. They are highlighted and have been edited under my chemPRIME account.
There were two typos found on this page. They are highlighted and have been edited under my chemPRIME account.
There was one typo found on this page. It is highlighted and has been edited under my chemPRIME account.
There was one typo found on this page. It is highlighted and has been edited under my chemPRIME account. The 1:1 electrolyte should be 1:2 in the highlighted section, because the 1:1 electrolytes can't conduct half as well as themselves.
There was one typo found on this page. It is highlighted and has been edited under my chemPRIME account. The math section under the highlighted line contains .23 instead of 7.23 in one instance.
There were two minor typos found on this page. They are highlighted and have been edited under my chemPRIME account.

There were two typos found on this page. They are highlighted and have been edited under my chemPRIME account.
The highlighted portion brings up a small error in how the material is presented. The amphiprotic species page is listed after the current page, so the statement "as we saw in the amphiprotic species section" is somewhat confusing in the context of the 109H textbook.
This exemplar outlines the immense influence that the Haber process had on the course of events of WWI.
This exemplar shows how essential the FCC process is to both industry and fundamental aspects of daily life.
Rates of reaction are key components when looking at the breakdown of ethanol in the human body. This exemplar looks at both that math and the implications behind the rate of alcohol processing.
One error was found on this page. It has been corrected in my chemPRIME account.
The reading assignments can sometimes be a little inconsistent as far as time required. Some assignments might take one hour, while others might take five. This could perhaps be made more consistent by spreading out the content more evenly among the reading day assignment links. This bookmarked page, October 9th, is an example of a very lengthy reading assignment.

This list is intended to keep track my progress with respect to the honors project. The focus for this project will be placed upon chemical kinetics and the project will be devoted to improving all sections of the online textbook related to this specific subject matter. Also, exemplars will be m...
