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.
