In Chapters 3 and 8 kinetics and many of the factors which can influence the stability of solutions were discussed. It was mentioned that in order to interpret the results from experiments conducted to determine the stability of a compound, a model was required. At times the model which is chosen is very general while at other times the model will have great detail. While the amount of information which can be obtained will depend on the detail of the model, at times sufficient information can be obtained with a model which does not describe the path of the reaction or other controlling factors. From an academic perspective, the argument can easily be made that kinetic studies should be designed which will provide all the information needed to fully understand the disappearance of the compound and the appearance of new compounds. This would allow the prediction of the behavior of the compound under any condition to which it might be exposed. Usually the studies are set up to answer a specific question and, in this case, limited information is obtained. Often, the overriding factor is the amount of time needed to conduct the study and then only those factors which are suspected of playing a significant part in the stability of the compound will be investigated.
