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-1K-1 or roughly 25J mole-1 K-1. This law is obeyed with quite a good approximation for many substances at the room temperature.
