Q: Do we need to change 'and' to 'or' when the affirmative sentence is modified to negative or interrogative?

A grammar rule has been taught in our school, in which when we modify an affirmative sentence to a negative or interrogative one, we should change 'and' to 'or'. For example: Eat and drink in the metro. Don't eat or drink in the metro. He and I are playing football. He or I aren't ...

> The solution is chilled to 0°C and a 10% ethanol solution is added under constant stirring until a 0.5% (v/v) concentration of ethanol is reached.

I found many examples of this phrase, but the names of authors are not native.

Lake Chagan

Lake Chagan (or Lake Balapan), Kazakhstan, is a lake created by the Chagan nuclear test fired on January 15, 1965, part of the Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy. Its water comes from the Chagan River (tributary of Irtysh River). Often referred to as "Atomic Lake," the crater lake's volume is approximately 100,000 m3 (81 acre·ft) . To the south, the rim of the crater holds back the waters of a second reservoir. == See also == Sedan (nuclear test) – An American cratering detonation Pechora–Kama Canal Crater lakes usually formed by volcanic events. == References == On the Soviet program...
