Euatmotic reaction

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004116",
  "term": "Euatmotic reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A reversible reaction at constant temperature in which two or more solid phases, on heating, convert entirely into one vapour phase. It is the vapour counterpart of a eutectic reaction, whose product is a liquid. It differs from the thermal decomposition of a single solid, such as calcium carbonate into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide, which leaves a new solid behind.",
