  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001868",
  "term": "Change of mass",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measurable alteration in the mass of a material or system, often observed during chemical reactions or physical processes. In electrochemical piezoelectric microgravimetry, this change is detected by monitoring the resonant frequency of a quartz crystal. The change in mass is directly proportional to the change in frequency, as described by the Sauerbrey equation.",
