The unit of the van der Waals gas equation parameter ' a ' in P + an 2 V 2 ( V - nb ) = nRT is:
Options
- Adm 3   mol - 1
- Bkg   ms - 1
- Catm   dm 6   mol - 2
- Dkg   ms - 2
Correct answer
C. atm   dm 6   mol - 2
Step-by-step solution
Pressure correction ΔP = an 2 V 2 a = ΔP × V 2 n 2 atm ( Lit ) 2 (  mole  ) 2 = atm dm 3 2 (  mole  ) 2 a = atm · dm 6 · mol - 2
