# The Van der Waal's equation of state for some gases can be expressed as:$(P + \dfrac{a}{V^2})(V - b) = RT$where P is the pressure, V is the molar volume, and T is the absolute temperature of the given sample of gas and a,b and R are constants.The dimensions of constant b are

$L^3$

##### SOLUTION
$\left[ V \right] =\left[ b \right]$
$\left[ b \right] =\left[ { L }^{ 3 } \right]$

You're just one step away
