Question

Explain lindmann's10% law​

Answer 1

please mark as brilliant

Answer:

Ten Percent (10%) Law: Ten percent law for transfer of energy from one trophic level to the next was introduced by Lindeman (1942). According to this law, during the transfer of energy from organic food from one trophic level to the next, only about ten percent of the of energy from organic matter is stored as flesh.

Answer 2

Answer:

In chemical kinetics, the Lindemann mechanism (also called the Lindemann–Christiansen mechanism[1] or the Lindemann–Hinshelwood mechanism[2][3]) is a schematic reaction mechanism for unimolecular reactions. Frederick Lindemann and J. A. Christiansen proposed the concept almost simultaneously in 1921,[4][1] and Cyril Hinshelwood developed it to take into account the energy distributed among vibrational degrees of freedom for some reaction steps.[5][6]

It breaks down an apparently unimolecular reaction into two elementary steps, with a rate constant for each elementary step. The rate law and rate equation for the entire reaction can be derived from the rate equations and rate constants for the two steps.

The Lindemann mechanism is used to model gas phase decomposition or isomerization reactions. Although the net formula for a decomposition or isomerization appears to be unimolecular and suggests first-order kinetics in the reactant, the Lindemann mechanism shows that the unimolecular reaction step is preceded by a bimolecular activation step so that the kinetics may actually be second-order in certain cases.[7]
