A Vander Waals equation is given by$:$
$\left(P+\frac{a}{V^{2}}\right)(V-b)=R T$
Where, $a$ and $b$ are constant Solving above equation, $P=\frac{R T}{V-b}-\frac{a}{V^{2}}$
Taking derivative of $P$ $w.r.t$ volume
$\frac{\partial P}{\partial V}=0$
$\frac{\partial^{2} P}{\partial V^{2}}=0$
So, $P$ becomes$:$
$\frac{\partial P}{\partial V}=-\frac{R T}{(V-b)^{2}}+\frac{2 a}{V^{3}}=0$
$\frac{2 a}{V^{3}}=\frac{R T}{(V-b)^{2}}$$.....(1)$
$\frac{a}{V^{4}}=\frac{R T}{2 V(V-b)^{2}}$$.....(2)$
Taking double derivative again,
$\frac{\partial^{2} P}{\partial V^{2}}=\frac{2 R T}{(V-b)^{3}}-\frac{6 a}{V^{4}}=0$
or
$\frac{R T}{(V-b)^{3}}=\frac{3 a}{V^{4}}$
Put equation $( 2 )$ in above equation
$\frac{R T}{(V-b)^{3}}=\frac{3 R T}{2 V(V-b)^{2}}$
On rearranging,
$3 V-3 b=2 V$
$V_{c}=3 b$
$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}$ is critical volume
Use this value in equation $(1)$
$\frac{R T}{4 b^{2}}=\frac{2 a}{27 b^{3}}$
$T_{c}=\frac{8 a}{27 R b}$
$\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{C}}$ is critical temperature.
