This model permits us to assay the fitting of the experimental observations for the Arrhenius equation. An application is illustrated with the study of the accelerated stability of a solution of procaine chlorohydrate at pH 7.5, where it was found that in the temperature range of 21.5-80 °C the fitting of the Arrhenius equation was satisfactory.
