  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012068",
  "term": "Time-dependent stoichiometry",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A characteristic of a chemical reaction system where the stoichiometric coefficients of reactants or products change over the course of the reaction. This phenomenon occurs when the reaction mechanism involves intermediates that are consumed or formed at varying rates. It is often observed in complex reaction networks or catalytic cycles.",
