In formula P = (nRT)/(v - b) e-a/RTV. Find dimensions of a and b where P = pressure, n = no. of moles, T = temperature, V = volume and R = Universal Gas constant.

P is pressure in N/m² dimensional formula is : ML^-1T^-2

n is dimension less

dimesnion of temperature represented by the Greek letter theta is q

a/RTV shld be dimension less whihc means a has dimesnions same as RTV

dimesnion of a is :ML⁵T^-2

b has dimensions same as volume i.e, m³ or L³

so, dimesnion of a is :ML⁵T^-2

   dimesnion of b is : L³
