In the gas equation(P+  a/v²)(v-b)=RT, where T is the absolute temperature, P is pressure and V is the volume. what is dimension constant "a" and " b"

Answer»

We can add and structure only like quantities.
⇒ Dimensions of P = Dimensions of  a/V2   ......  (i)
 and dimension of V = Dimensions of b                     ............ (ii)
From (i), 
Dimensions of a = Dimensions of P× Dimensions of V2 [a]

=[M1 L−1 T−2 ]×[L3 ]2 

=[M1 L5 T−2

Unit of a= Unit of p×Unit of v 

N/m2 \(\times\) m6=Nm4

From (ii), [b] = [V]=[M0 L3 T0

So unit of b = Unit of V = m3
