    The equation of-state of some gases can be expressed as \[\left( p+\frac{a}{{{V}^{2}}} \right)(V-b)=RT\] where, p is the pressure, V the volume, T the absolute temperature and a and b are constants. The dimensional formula of a is

    A)  \[[M{{L}^{5}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]

    B)  \[[{{M}^{-1}}{{L}^{5}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]

    C)  \[[M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]

    D)  \[[M{{L}^{-5}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     In the equation p, V and T are pressure, volume and temperature respectively. \[\left( p+\frac{a}{{{V}^{2}}} \right)(V-b)=RT\] Dimensions of \[\frac{a}{{{V}^{2}}}\]will be same as that of  pressure. \[\therefore \]Dimensions of \[\frac{a}{{{V}^{2}}}=\] dimensions of p \[\Rightarrow \]Dimensions of \[a=\]dimensions of \[p\,\,\times \]dimensions of \[{{V}^{2}}\] \[=[M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{-2}}][{{L}^{6}}]\] \[=[M{{L}^{5}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]
