At some critical temperature (orange isotherm), the slope is negative everywhere except at a single inflection point: the critical point (,), where both the slope and curvature are zero, | = | =. At higher temperatures (red isotherm), the isotherm's slope is negative everywhere.
However, the liquid–vapor boundary terminates in an endpoint at some critical temperature T c and critical pressure p c. This is the critical point. The critical point of water occurs at 647.096 K (373.946 °C; 705.103 °F) and 22.064 megapascals (3,200.1 psi; 217.75 atm; 220.64 bar). [3]
A plot of this function for the same subcritical isotherm of the vdW equation as Figs. 1 and 2 is shown in Fig. 3. Included in this figure is the (dashed/solid) straight line that has a double (common) tangent with the curve of the function f {\displaystyle f} at B and F.

An isothermal process is a type of thermodynamic process in which the temperature T of a system remains constant: ΔT = 0. This typically occurs when a system is in contact with an outside thermal reservoir, and a change in the system occurs slowly enough to allow the system to be continuously adjusted to the temperature of the reservoir through heat exchange (see quasi-equilibrium).
Critical isotherm for Redlich-Kwong model in comparison to van-der-Waals model and ideal gas (with V 0 =RT c /p c) The Redlich–Kwong equation is another two-parameter equation that is used to model real gases. It is almost always more accurate than the van der Waals equation, and often more accurate than some equations with more than two ...
The Van 't Hoff equation relates the change in the equilibrium constant, K eq, of a chemical reaction to the change in temperature, T, given the standard enthalpy change, Δ r H ⊖, for the process. The subscript r {\displaystyle r} means "reaction" and the superscript ⊖ {\displaystyle \ominus } means "standard".
The reduced variables are defined in terms of critical variables. The principle originated with the work of Johannes Diderik van der Waals in about 1873 [3] when he used the critical temperature and critical pressure to derive a universal property of all fluids that follow the van der Waals equation of state.
