(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. 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. 2. 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. 3. Pure water has a slight blue coloration that goes deeper as the thickness of the sample increases. Water follows the temperature of its surrounding. 4. The solubility of oxygen in water increases at colder temperatures, and decreases at higher temperatures. DO can be measured in milligrams of oxygen (O2) per liter of water. 5. An atom is composed of three subatomic…
