An analysis of the sensitivity of ac calorimetry to (distributed) molar latent heat l(T) is presented. For the ReO4 salt, the transition is weakly first order, exhibiting no sluggishness or hysteresis. The effective specific heat measured using ac calorimetry, i.e., c(p) + dl/dT, exhibits a lambda-like anomaly, but the entropy of the transition is sample dependent and generally less than the expected value, R ln(2). In comparison, the transition is sluggish for the tetrafluoroborate salt, so that only a lower limit on the entropy could be determined. The thermal anomalies are compared to the anomalies observed using the vibrating-reed technique; the latter are affected by changes in the lattice constants as well as the Young's moduli at the transitions.
