Question
State Dulong and Petit's law.

Answer

According to the Dulong and Petit's law, the specific heat per mole of a chemically pure crystalline solid is approximately $6 cal mol^{-1}K^{-1}$ or roughly $25J mole^{-1} K^{-1}$. This law is obeyed with quite a good approximation for many substances at the room temperature.
