The equation for real gas is given by (P + aV2 )(V - b) = RT, where P, V, T and R are the pressure, volume, temperature and gas constant, respectively. The dimension of ab-2 is equivalent to that of :
- Compressibility
- Planck's constant
- Energy density
- Strain
Answer
(3) Energy density
Solution
aV2 = pressure a = PV2
b = volume V
ab-2 = PV2V2 = P = [ ML-1T-2]
Energy density = EnergyVolume = [ ML2T-2][L3] = [ ML-1T-2]
(Compressibility [ M-1LT2], Planck's constant [ ML2T-1], strain dimensionless)
Answer: (3)
