The classical derivation of transition-state theory starts by assuming that the transition state, Xj, is in equilibrium with the reactants A and B as represented in (1). The rate of reaction, v, is given by (2) where vt is some 

The paradox arises because (1) and equilibrium require a formulation as in (3), where most of Xt that is formed returns to reactants and only a small
