    Relationship to Transition State Theory
    While the Arrhenius Equation is empirical, Transition State Theory (TST), developed by Henry Eyring and Michael Polanyi, provides a theoretical framework yielding a similar exponential dependence on temperature. TST relates the rate constant to fundamental constants and the equilibrium constant for the formation of the transition state ($K^\ddagger$):
    $$ k = \kappa \left(\f…
