26. Due to Liouville theorem on flux conservation, the rate constant for product formation is strictly equal to the rate constant for TS crossing. Therefore, if the basic assumptions of TST are satisfied, the failure of TST to predict product state distributions has no bearing on its validity for predicting rate constants.
