Specific heat of the stonechangesby polishing it 3. ttt" temperature of the polished floor is lower than that of the rough floor 4. There is greater heat loss from the soles of the feet when in contact with the polished floor than with the rough floor 20. The acidity of normal rain water is due to 1. 2. 3. 4. SOz COz NOz NO
