VOLUME V_c missing in definition of Z_c= p_c V_c / (n k_B T_c) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.178.88.137 (talk) 16:21, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect title
The title of this page is "Theorem of corresponding states". However, it does not describe Lorentz' thorem of corresponding states, but rather van der Waals' principle of corresponding states. I'm not enough of an expert to know whether these are deeply related, but they are clearly quite different things. As far as I understand it, the theorem of corresponding states was part of Lorentz' work on relativity (pre-Einstein) and is a theorem regarding the Maxwell equations, whereas the principle of corresponding states seems to be something heuristic in thermodynamics, and clearly isn't a theorem in any sense at all! 131.112.112.6 (talk) 05:17, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
