Answer»

Correct choice is (a) L/mol

To explain: The ideal GAS equation is given as (P – an^2/V^2)(V – nb) = nRT.So by CONSIDERING the equation, we can understand that the units of the volume are equal to the units of a number of moles X be so the units of b. So b’s units = volume / number of moles so it is L/mol.
