We investigate the stability of perturbations in the thermodynamic parameters of an isotropic expanding universe which contains matter and radiation in equilibrium. The possibility that perturbations in the temperature and mean molecular weight may be sufficiently unstable that they could produce important dynamical effects during the thermonuclear and neutralization phases respectively is examined and shown to be very unlikely.
