Thus, the liquid–liquid critical point in a two-component system must satisfy two conditions: the condition of the spinodal curve (the second derivative of the free energy with respect to concentration must equal zero), and the extremum condition (the third derivative of the free energy with respect to concentration must also equal zero or the derivative of the spinodal temperature with respect to concentration must equal zero). − 从理论角度来看，液-液临界点表示调节曲线的温度-浓度极值(如右图所示)。因此，双组分体系中的液-液临界点必须满足两个条件: 自由能对浓度的二阶导数必须等于零的条件和极值条件(自由能对浓度的三阶导数也必须等于零或自由能对浓度的三阶导数必须等于零)。 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 第126行：

In [[thermodynamics]], a '''critical point''' (or '''critical state''') is the end point of a phase [[Equilibrium (thermodynamics)|equilibrium]] curve. The most prominent example is the liquid–vapor critical point, the end point of the pressure–temperature curve that designates conditions under which a [[liquid]] and its [[vapor]] can coexist. At higher temperatures, the gas cannot be liquefied by pressure alone. At the critical point, defined by a ''critical temperature'' ''T''<sub>c</sub> and a ''critical pressure'' ''p''<sub>c</sub>, [[phase (matter)|phase]] boundaries vanish. Other examples include the liquid–liquid critical points in mixtures.

在热力学中，临界点(或临界状态)是相平衡曲线的终点。最突出的例子是液体-蒸汽临界点，这是指定液体和蒸汽共存条件的压力-温度曲线的终点。在较高的温度下，气体不能单靠压力液化。在临界点，由临界温度 t < sub > c </sub > 和临界压力 p < sub > c </sub > 定义，相界消失。其他例子包括混合物中的液-液临界点。

For simplicity and clarity, the generic notion of ''critical point'' is best introduced by discussing a specific example, the liquid–vapor critical point. This was the first critical point to be discovered, and it is still the best known and most studied one.

为了简单明了，临界点的一般概念最好通过讨论一个具体的例子来介绍，即液体-蒸汽临界点。这是第一个被发现的临界点，而且它仍然是最著名和研究最多的一个。
The figure to the right shows the schematic [[PT diagram]] of a ''pure substance'' (as opposed to mixtures, which have additional state variables and richer phase diagrams, discussed below). The commonly known [[phase (matter)|phases]] ''solid'', ''liquid'' and ''vapor'' are separated by phase boundaries, i.e. pressure–temperature combinations where two phases can coexist. At the [[triple point]], all three phases can coexist. However, the liquid–vapor boundary terminates in an endpoint at some ''critical temperature'' ''T''<sub>c</sub> and ''critical pressure'' ''p''<sub>c</sub>. This is the ''critical point''.

在水中，临界点发生在和。
In the ''vicinity'' of the critical point, the physical properties of the liquid and the vapor change dramatically, with both phases becoming ever more similar. For instance, liquid water under normal conditions is nearly incompressible, has a low thermal expansion coefficient, has a high [[dielectric constant]], and is an excellent solvent for electrolytes. Near the critical point, all these properties change into the exact opposite: water becomes compressible, expandable, a poor [[dielectric]], a bad solvent for electrolytes, and prefers to mix with nonpolar gases and organic molecules.<ref>Anisimov, Sengers, [[Anneke Levelt Sengers|Levelt Sengers]] (2004):

在临界点附近，液相和蒸汽的物理性质发生了剧烈的变化，两相变得越来越相似。例如，液态水在正常情况下几乎是不可压缩的，热膨胀系数低，介电常数高，是电解质的优良溶剂。在临界点附近，所有这些性质都会发生完全相反的变化: 水变得可压缩、可膨胀、介电性能差、是电解质的糟糕溶剂，而且更喜欢与非极性气体和有机分子混合。

Above the critical point there exists a state of matter that is continuously connected with (can be transformed without phase transition into) both the liquid and the gaseous state. It is called supercritical fluid. The common textbook knowledge that all distinction between liquid and vapor disappears beyond the critical point has been challenged by Fisher and Widom, who identified a p–T line that separates states with different asymptotic statistical properties (Fisher–Widom line).
在临界点以上存在一种物质状态，这种状态连续地连接着液态和气态(可以不经过相变而转化为液态)。它被称为超临界流体。一般教科书认为，液体和蒸汽之间的所有区别都会在临界点以外消失，这一观点受到了 Fisher 和 Widom 的挑战，他们确定了一条 p-t 线，用于分离具有不同渐近统计性质的状态(Fisher-Widom 线)。

Some times the critical point does not manifest in most thermodynamic or mechanical properties, but is hidden and reveals itself in the onset of inhomogeneities in elastic moduli, marked changes in the appearance and local properties of non-affine droplets and a sudden enhancement in defect pair concentration. In those cases we have a hidden critical point, otherwise we have an exposed critical point.

The existence of a critical point was first discovered by Charles Cagniard de la Tour in 1822 and named by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1860 and Thomas Andrews in 1869. Cagniard showed that CO<sub>2</sub> could be liquefied at 31 °C at a pressure of 73 atm, but not at a slightly higher temperature, even under pressures as high as 3000 atm.

However, the van der Waals equation, based on a mean-field theory, does not hold near the critical point. In particular, it predicts wrong scaling laws.
然而，基于平均场理论的范德华方程模型在临界点附近并不成立。特别是，它预测了错误的比例定律。

The liquid–liquid critical point of a solution, which occurs at the critical solution temperature, occurs at the limit of the two-phase region of the phase diagram. In other words, it is the point at which an infinitesimal change in some thermodynamic variable (such as temperature or pressure) leads to separation of the mixture into two distinct liquid phases, as shown in the polymer–solvent phase diagram to the right. Two types of liquid–liquid critical points are the upper critical solution temperature (UCST), which is the hottest point at which cooling induces phase separation, and the lower critical solution temperature (LCST), which is the coldest point at which heating induces phase separation.
溶液的液液临界点发生在临界溶液温度，出现在相图的两相区极限处。换句话说，它是一些热力学变量(如温度或压力)的无限小的变化导致混合物分离成两个不同的液相的点，如右边的聚合物-溶剂相图所示。液-液两相临界点分别为上临界溶液温度(UCST)和下临界溶液温度(LCST) ，前者是诱发相分离的最热点，后者是诱发相分离的最冷点。

From a theoretical standpoint, the liquid–liquid critical point represents the temperature–concentration extremum of the spinodal curve (as can be seen in the figure to the right). Thus, the liquid–liquid critical point in a two-component system must satisfy two conditions: the condition of the spinodal curve (the second derivative of the free energy with respect to concentration must equal zero), and the extremum condition (the third derivative of the free energy with respect to concentration must also equal zero or the derivative of the spinodal temperature with respect to concentration must equal zero).
从理论角度来看，液-液临界点表示调节曲线的温度-浓度极值(如右图所示)。因此，双组分体系中的液-液临界点必须满足两个条件: 自由能对浓度的二阶导数必须等于零的条件和极值条件(自由能对浓度的三阶导数也必须等于零或自由能对浓度的三阶导数必须等于零)。

The [[liquid–liquid critical point]] of a solution, which occurs at the ''critical solution temperature'', occurs at the limit of the two-phase region of the phase diagram. In other words, it is the point at which an infinitesimal change in some thermodynamic variable (such as temperature or pressure) leads to separation of the mixture into two distinct liquid phases, as shown in the polymer–solvent phase diagram to the right. Two types of liquid–liquid critical points are the [[upper critical solution temperature]] (UCST), which is the hottest point at which cooling induces phase separation, and the [[lower critical solution temperature]] (LCST), which is the coldest point at which heating induces phase separation.
===Mathematical definition===
From a theoretical standpoint, the liquid–liquid critical point represents the temperature–concentration extremum of the [[spinodal]] curve (as can be seen in the figure to the right). Thus, the liquid–liquid critical point in a two-component system must satisfy two conditions: the condition of the spinodal curve (the ''second'' derivative of the [[Gibbs free energy|free energy]] with respect to concentration must equal zero), and the extremum condition (the ''third'' derivative of the free energy with respect to concentration must also equal zero or the derivative of the spinodal temperature with respect to concentration must equal zero).
