Solution:

AVV = ( ∂∂ μN  )TV


Using the chain rule:

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.

P V 3−aV +2 ab=0 Eq .4
The tree roots from the polynomial (eq 4) with P= 1 bar, are:

m3
V 1=−0.0024

V 2=0.00013

V 3=0.0022

The negative root does not have any sense physically.

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.

Solution:
The pressure is function of the Temperature and volume
P=f (T ,V )
