The equation of state for real gas is given by `((p + (a)/(V^(2))(V - b) = RT`. The dimension of the constant `a` is ………………. .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the equation ,
`(P + (a)/(V^(2))) ( V - b ) = RT [P] = [(a)/( V^(2))]`
or ` [a] = [PV^(2)] = [(MLT^(-2))/(L^(2)) L^(6)] = [ML^(5) T^(-2)]`
