Abstract
For an analytical fluid it is shown that at the critical point the following discontinuities exist: , , where G is the Gibbs free energy or chemical potential; is the heat capacity at constant volume; is the total number of moles in the calorimeter; is the total inside volume of the calorimeter; are the critical molal density, critical pressure, and critical temperature, respectively; with subscripts indicates partial derivatives of evaluated at the critical point.
