Final answer:

The MSDS includes a Chemtrec number for emergencies regarding chemical spills, and while storage information is also provided, the number is specifically for spill incidents, making the statement about spills true and about storage false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical spills are the uncontrolled release of a hazardous chemical, either as a solid, liquid or a gas. These spills need to be minimized as much as possible. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) includes a Chemtrec phone number primarily for emergencies related to spills of chemicals.

These data sheets provide comprehensive information about the handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals. They are designed to ensure everyone's safety by offering procedures on what to do in case of an accident, such as a chemical spill.

As for storage information, it is certainly contained within the MSDS, but the Chemtrec number is particularly mentioned for spill-related emergencies, making option A (1 is true, 2 is false) the correct choice.
