1.	The equation given below is the Vandar Wall's equation for a gas (P+(a)/(V^2))(V-b)=RT where P is the pressure, V is the volume, R is the universal gas constant and T is the temperature. Find the dimensions of a"/"b.
Answer» <P> Solution :`[P]=((a)/(V^2))` (only quantities of similar dimension can be ADDED or SUBTRACTED) `[a]=[PV^(2)]` `[ML^(-1)T^(-2)][L^3]^(2)= [ML^(5)T^(-2)]` Similar, `[B]=[V]=[L^3]` `[(a)/(b)]=[(ML^(5)T^(-2))/(L^(3))]=[ML^(2)T^(-2)]`.
