Pierre Louis Dulong, French Chemist

Pierre Louis Dulong (1785-1838) was a French physicist and chemist. He worked on the specific heat capacity and the expansion and refractive indices of gases. In 1819, Dulong collaborated with Petit to show that the mass heat capacity of metallic elements are inversely proportional to their atomic masses, this being now known as the Dulong-Petit law. He is one of the names of 72 scientists inscribed on the Eiffel Tower
