The relation between pressure exerted by an ideal gas (pideal) and observed pressure (preal) is given by the equation:

If pressure is taken in Nm-2, number of moles in mol and volume in m3, Calculate the unit of 'a'.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Unit of 'P'  =  N m-2

Unit of 'a'   =  N m-2  X   (m3)2  / (mol)2

= N-m4 mol-2

Unit of 'a' when pressure is in atm, and volume in dm3   

Unit  of 'P' =  atm

Unit of 'a'   =  atm  X  (dm3)2  / (mol)2

= atm-dm6 mol-2
