CHEM KINETICS PART 1 Flashcards
To ensure that the patient receives the correct dose of a drug, the ____ must be known
rate of degradation
are chemical in nature and take place at definite rates
degradative reactions
the study of rate of a chemical reaction
chemical kinetics
speed of a chemical reaction
reaction rate
RAEACTION RATE
relationship between time, drug, and degradation
as time increases, drug decreases, degradation increases
drug degrades over time
- Deals with the stability of drugs and the mode of action of their degradation through the examination of rate of reaction.
- Can provide predictive information to anticipate stability problems
chemical kinetics
CHEMICAL KINETICS
Deals with the stability of drugs and the mode of action of their degradation through the examination of ____
RATE OF REACTION
CHEMICAL KINETICS
Can provide ____ to anticipate stability problems
PREDICTIVE INFORMATION
TYPES OF ORDER OF REACTION
constant amount is degraded
e.g. alcohol, aspirin
zero order
TYPES OF ORDER OF REACTION
follows zero order kinetics
straight line
the time required for one-half (50%) of the material to disappear
HALF-LIFE
the time required for 10% of the material to disappear
SHELF-LIFE
TYPES OF ORDER OF REACTION
constant fraction/percent of drug is degraded over time
first order kinetics
first order kinetics follows a what type of line
curved line
determination of order of reaction
graphical
half-life
