The Eyring equation, also known as the transition state theory (TST) equation, is a fundamental equation in chemical kinetics that describes the rate of a chemical reaction. It is expressed as:
k = (kB * T / h) * exp(-ΔG‡ / RT)
where:
k is the rate constant of the reaction. kB is the Boltzmann constant. T is the temperature in Kelvin. h is the Planck constant. ΔG‡ is the Gibbs free energy of activation. R is the universal gas constant.
