PHYSICAL CHANGES/INSTABILITY
Solubility

Melting point
Crystal form
Equilibrium moisture content.
Example- amorphous materials are less stable than their
crystalline counterparts.
A relatively dense material may better withstand ambient
stresses aminobenzylpenicillin trihydrate is more denser and
stable than its amorphous form.
CHEMICAL CHANGES/INSTABILITY
Solid state reactions are generally slow and it is customary to use
stress conditions in investigation of stability.
Data obtained under stress is then extrapolated to make
prediction of stability.
High temperature can drive moisture out of a sample and render
the material apparently stable otherwise prone to hydrolysis.
Example- Above 65% relative humidity the beta form of
chlortetracycline hydrochloride transforms into alpha form.
Rate of Reaction
Expressing speed of a reaction:
as the decrease in concentration of any reacting substance
as the increase in concentration of the product per unit time.

where n=0,1 or 2 for zero, first & second order reactions respectively
Order of Reaction
Manner in which the rate of reaction varies with the concentration of the
reactants
Most processes involving ADME can be treated as first- order processes
