 Second enlarged edition of Guldberg's Short account of applied thermodynamics, first published in 1867, in which he discusses i.a. his ideal gas equation in the form pV = 2T.
This was a result of his search for a general equation of state for gases, liquids, and solids from a kinetic molecular approach.

Cato Maximilian Guldberg [1836-1902], Norwegian chemist and mathematician who, with his brother-in-law Waage published the Law of Mass Action in 1864.
Guldberg and Waage's law of mass action was an adequate guide to the understanding of reversible reactions, much more so then Berthelot's suggestion.
Unfortunately, Guldberg and Waage published in Norwegian, and their work went unnoticed until 1879, when it was translated into German.
