VAN DER WAALS EQUATION
• Triple point: the only condition under which all three phases can coexist
• Critical point: this point corresponds to the endpoint at the top of the vaporization
curve
PVT-SURFACE
Calculate the volume of 1.00 mol of liquid water at 20°C (at which its
density is 998 kg/m3), and compare that with the volume occupied by
1.00 mol of water at the critical point, which is 56 × 10-6 m3. Water has a
molar mass of 18.0 g/mol. (Answer: 18 × 10-6 m3, less than the volume
at critical point)
