In Vander Wall's equation (P +(a)/(V^2))(V - b) = RT What are the dimensions of a and b ? Here, P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature and R is gas constant.

Solution :SINCE dimensionally similar quantities can only be added
`THEREFORE [P]=[(a)/(V^(2))]implies[a]=[PV^(2)]=[M^(1)L^(5)T^(-2)]`
`[b]=[V]=[L^(3)]`
