Critical Volume

• Definition

  Critical Volume is the volume for unit mass when a pure substance is in critical state, i.e., at critical temperature and critical pressure.

• Estimation Method

  - MolInstincts: The Property value is estimated by the combination of fundamental thermodynamic theories, modern modeling approaches, QSPR (quantitative structure-property relationships) methods, and ANN (Artificial Neural Network) with over fitting prevention algorithm, utilizing the quantum chemical calculations results and molecular descriptors. The estimated value is finally determined after manual inspection.
