<p><font face="serif">I just wanted to let you know that there is
not a "small table" of equations on the test like you had on
your quizzes. Instead, you will find the equations on the cover
page. There were some typos in the small equation sheet from
your quizzes - I have verified that none of those typos made
their way onto the cover sheet. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">Also, some of the equations found in the small
table were duplicated. For example:</font></p>

<p><font face="serif">I only included one version on the cover
sheet. Why am I telling you this? You might want to make sure
that you know the differences between zeroth, first, and second
order half-lives as well as the integrated rate laws associated
with those orders.<br>
