    This document contains MATLAB code to plot isotherms for toluene using the van der Waals equation of state. It defines constants for toluene's critical temperature and pressure. It then calculates van der Waals a and b parameters. The code generates pressure-volume and pressure-internal energy plots for temperatures from 550K to 590K in 10K increments using specified volume ranges.
