Relationship With Gibbs Free Energy
In the Arrhenius equation, the term activation energy (Ea) is used to describe the energy required to reach the transition state. Likewise, the Eyring equation is a similar equation which also describes the rate of a reaction. Instead of also using Ea, however, the Eyring equation uses the concept of Gibbs free energy and the symbol * to denote the energy of the transition state.

“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer.
