1.4: Chapter 1 Problem
1.1
Consider the following equations for the pressure of a real gas. For each equation, find the dimensions of the constants \(a\) and \(b\) and express these dimensions in SI units.
(a) The Dieterici equation: \[ p = \frac {RT e^{-(an/VRT)}}{(V/n) - b} \]
(b) The Redlich–Kwong equation: \[ p = \frac {RT} {(V/n) - b} - \frac {an^2} {T^{1/2}V(V+nb)} \]
