In order to calculate the temperature at the limit of stability we should know the volume,
using the equations 2 and 3, we get the next expression.

ANSWER: Using the equation 3 and the volume 2 and 3 the maximum temperature at
stability is:
For V2
T =258.49 K
ForV3
T =55.19 K
In comparison between the VDW result and the experimental (269 K) the result for the
liquid spinodal at 1 bar is close.
