In vander Waal's gas equation (P+aV2)(Vb)=RT . Determine the dimension of a and b.

Open in App
Solution

Vander Wall’s equation is given as,

(P+aV2)(Vb)=RT

The dimension of a is given as,

a=PV2

=[ML1T2][L3]2

=[ML5T2]

The dimension of b is given as,

b=V

=[L3]

Thus, the dimension of a is [ML5T2] and the dimension of b is [L3].
