Question

(A) if both sentences are true,
(B) if both sentences are false,
(C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and
(D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true.

1. When water is mixed with metals, a metal hydroxide is formed and oxygen gas is evolved. The evolution of the oxygen gas from the reaction of metals and water is indicated by the hastened consumption of the splinter. 

2. Carbon dating is an application of nuclear chemistry where they use the amount of C-14 in a fossil to determine its age. Nuclear power plants produce radioactive wastes.

3. When water is mixed with oxides, hydrogen gas is evolved. A red to blue color change in the litmus paper indicates that the solution tested is an acid.

4. In the Winkler Titration Method, sodium thiosulfate is standardized against a known concentration of magnesium iodate. The normality (N) of a solution is always equal to its molarity (M).

5. In the experiment on determining the dissolved oxygen concentration of a water sample, the compound used to acidify the sample was hydrochloric acid. An acidic solution will have a pH greater than 7.

6. Radioactive wastes, like uranium, must be handled and disposed of according to special regulations designed to protect people and the environment. Nuclear power plants produce too much greenhouse gases due to the burning of uranium.
