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]

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).
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.

This reflects the fact that, at extremely high temperatures and pressures, the liquid and gaseous phases become indistinguishable, [3] in what is known as a supercritical fluid. In water, the critical point occurs at around T c = 647.096 K (373.946 °C), p c = 22.064 MPa (217.75 atm) and ρ c = 356 kg/m 3. [4]
Heat flows into the loop through the top isotherm and the left isochore, and some of this heat flows back out through the bottom isotherm and the right isochore, but most of the heat flow is through the pair of isotherms. This makes sense since all the work done by the cycle is done by the pair of isothermal processes, which are described by Q ...
The Van 't Hoff isotherm can be used to determine the temperature dependence of the Gibbs free energy of reaction for non-standard state reactions at a constant temperature: [6] ( d G d ξ ) T , p = Δ r G = Δ r G ⊖ + R T ln Q r , {\displaystyle \left({\frac {dG}{d\xi }}\right)_{T,p}=\Delta _{\mathrm {r} }G=\Delta _{\mathrm {r} }G ...
