The energy of binding a transition state complex (X) can be determined by writing an equilibrium expression

Question:

The energy of binding a transition state complex (X‡) can be determined by writing an equilibrium expression for the formation of the complex.
(a) For the reaction A ⇆ X‡, what is the equilibrium expression?
(b) What is the expression for the free energy of binding to the transition state (ΔG‡)?
(c) What factors are needed to equate the rate constant k to the free energy of activation?
