__ Experimental Flask __ : 27 grams of pyrite (FeS2) were crushed, pulverized, and mixed with 225 mL of water (H2O). The water and pyrite mixture were aerated for 6 days to provide oxygen (O2). The mixture was shaken once per day for 6 days. After 6 days the aerator was removed and the mixture was allowed to settle and remained as such for about 14 days. About 10 drops of universal indicator solution were added to the mixture on 4 occasions to determine pH. __ Control Flask __ : 225 mL of water (H2O) were added to the flask; no pyrite was added to the flask. The water was aerated for 6 days to provide oxygen (O2). The water was shaken once per day for 6 days. After 6 days the aerator was removed and was allowed to settle and remained as such for about 14 days. About 10 drops of universal indicator solution were added to the mixture on 4 occasions to determine pH. 1 ) Using the color coded universal indicator pH chart, determine the pH of each flask. 2) Explain the reason for the difference in pH. Be specific. 3) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that took place in the experimental flask. 4) What is the purpose of the control flask? 5) What does this have to do with environmental science?
