### Stoichiometry: Solving for a Reactant Using a Chemical Equation

Wine goes bad soon after opening because the ethanol \((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH})\) in it reacts with oxygen gas \((\text{O}_2)\) from the air to form water \((\text{H}_2\text{O})\) and acetic acid \((\text{CH}_3\text{COOH})\), the main ingredient of vinegar.

**Problem:**
What mass of acetic acid is produced by the reaction of 5.52 g of ethanol?

**Instructions:** 
Round your answer to 3 significant digits and enter the value in the input box provided.

**Diagram:**
- The diagram includes an input box for you to enter the mass of acetic acid in grams.
- Next to the input box, there are several icons including:
  - A checkbox for scientific notation adjustment.
  - A reset button to clear the current input.
  - A question mark which likely provides hints or additional help.

**Actions:**
1. **Explanation**: Click this button to receive a detailed explanation of the problem and its solution.
2. **Check**: Click this button after entering the mass to verify if your answer is correct.

Enter the value for the mass of acetic acid in grams in the appropriate input box and use the tools provided to aid your calculations if needed.
