We combine equations of state valid for the dense, neutral fluid and the dense, fully ionized plasma to obtain a new equation of state for the intermediate region where partial dissociation and ionization occur. A region of thermodynamic instability is found which is known as plasma phase transition. Hugoniots curves are calculated and compared with experiments and other theories.
