Wine goes bad soon after opening because the ethanol (CH,CH,OH) dissolved in it reacts with oxygen gas to form water and aqueous acetic acid (CH,COOH), the main ingredient in vinegar. Calculate the moles of acetic acid produced by the reaction of 0.060 mol of oxygen. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.
