Derive the units of the vanderwaal's constants.

Answer»

Solution :Units for VANDERWAAL's constant :
The dimensions of the vanderwaal's constant a and b depend UPON the units of P and V resetively.
`a=("Pressure"("Volume")^(2))/("mole"^(2))`
`a=atm * dm^(6)*"MOL"^(-2) (1 "litre"= 1 dm^(3))`
If volume is EXPRESSED in `dm^(3)`. then b is expressed as,
`(Vol)/(n)=(dm^(3))/("mol")`
`(V)/(n)= dm^(3)"mol"^(-1)`
unit of `b=dm^(3)"mol"^(-1)`
