Orthobaric density

The orthobaric density of a compound is the density of coexisting phases (liquid, gas, or solid) at a given temperature.

Liquid - Gas Equilibrium

For any temperature below the critical point, the density of the gas will be less than that of the liquid. At the critical point, the density of the liquid and gas phases are identical and the compound becomes a supercritical fluid.[1]

gollark: We have been.
gollark: Maybe I should construct pathological channel graphs within ideatic heavspace.
gollark: ++tel graph you entirely.
gollark: Suuuuuuuuuure.
gollark: I also refactored it so ++tel init_webhook actually works when it should i.e. right after it occurs.
