Wine goes bad soon after opening because the ethanol (CH₂CH₂OH) in it reacts with oxygen gas (0₂) from the air to form water (H₂O) and acetic acid (CH₂COOH), the main ingredient of vinegar. What mass of acetic acid is produced by the reaction of 4.9 g of ethanol? Round your answer to 2 significant digits. x10 X S

Question
**Understanding the Chemical Reaction in Wine Spoilage** Wine tends to spoil soon after being opened because the ethanol \((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH})\) it contains reacts with oxygen gas \((\text{O}_2)\) from the air. This reaction leads to the formation of water \((\text{H}_2\text{O})\) and acetic acid \((\text{CH}_3\text{COOH})\), which is the main ingredient of vinegar. **Problem: Calculating the Mass of Acetic Acid Produced** *Question:* What mass of acetic acid is produced by the reaction of 4.9 g of ethanol? *Instructions:* Round your answer to 2 significant digits. *Input Area:* There is an empty box where students can input their answer in grams. A button with input options allows for exponent adjustments, indicated by \(\text{x}_{10}\). *Diagram Description:* There is no specific graph or diagram to explain. Just textual input fields and formatting elements for the answer.
