Question:

The Vander Waal's equation for a gas is (P + a/v2)(V - b) = nRT. The ratio b/a will have the following dimensional formula.

Options:

M-1L-2T2

M-1L-1T-1

ML2T2

MLT2

Correct Answer:

M-1L-2T2

Explanation:

Dimension of (b) = L3

Dimension of (a) = ML5T-2

∴ Dimension of $\left(\frac{b}{a}\right) = \frac{L^3}{ML^5T^{-2}}$ = M-1L-2T2
