Abstract
Isodesmic reactions involving methyl, phenyl, and vinyl species are sh own to be accompanied by small entropy changes. In contrast, the ''ass ociation'' reaction of methane with vinyl species has a large entropy change that is quite well estimated by approximate translational entro py differences. The effect of neglecting multiple species on conformat ional equilibrium returns us to small but still predictable changes.
