Souring of wine occurs when ethanol is converted to acetic acid by oxygen: C2H5OH(l) +O2(g)--->CH3COOH(g)+H2O(l). A 1.00 L bottle of wine labeled as 7.00% (%v/v) ethanol, is found to have a defective seal. Analysis of 1.00 mL showed that there were 0.0274 g acetic acid in that 1.00 mL. The density of ethanol is 0.816 g/mL. (a) What mass of oxygen must leaked into the bottle in pounds(lb)  (b) What is the percent yield for the conversion of ethanol to acetic acid, if oxygen is in excess
