One finds there the first experimental demonstration of the approximate law of Dulong and Petit, which had been ypothesized, rather than established, by these physicists. For 24 pure elements, Regnault demonstrated that this law was only partially true mostly because there was no accepted table of atomic weights at that time." (Laurie Dahlberg)
