What is the unit of ‘a’ in RK equation?(a) Liter/mole(b) Atm(liter/mole)(c) Atm(liter/mole)K^0.5(d) Atm(liter/mole)KThe question was posed to me in an internship interview.This intriguing question comes from Equations of State in division Real Gases: Equations of State, Single Component Two Phase Systems, Saturation & Condensation of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer»

The correct option is (c) Atm(liter/mole)K^0.5

The explanation: RK equation is p = RT/(VB) – a/[T^0.5V(V + b)], => UNIT of a = atm(liter/mole)K^0.5.
