✦ Synopsis

A Gmplc thcrrnotlynamic-like intcrprctution of the rclatlon bctwccn the kinctlc .md the tRcrlllodyn,rtnIc p~r.~mcte~s oi chcniical reactions ("linear free cncrpy relations") is discuc\cd and applied. The central concept is the mtroduct10n of ml\ing (or configurational) entropy to account for the activation barrier of chcmic.11 rcxtion.
