  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007562",
  "term": "Monotectic reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A reversible invariant reaction in a binary or multicomponent system where a liquid phase transforms into a solid phase and another liquid phase upon cooling. This occurs at a specific temperature and composition, where the two liquid phases are immiscible. The process is characterized by the decomposition of one liquid into a solid and a second liquid phase.",
