Wine goes bad soon after opening because the ethanol in it reacts with oxygen gas from the air to form water and acetic acid , the main ingredient of vinegar. what mass of acetic acid is produced by the reaction of of oxygen gas? round your answer to significant digits.

7.00 g

Explanation:

There is some information missing. I think this is the complete question:

Wine goes bad soon after opening because the ethanol CH₃CH₂OH in it reacts with oxygen gas O₂ from the air to form water H₂O and acetic acid CH₃COOH, the main ingredient of vinegar. What mass of ethanol is consumed by the reaction of 4.86g of oxygen gas? Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

First, we have to write the balanced equation.

CH₃CH₂OH + O₂ ⇒  CH₃COOH + H₂O

Then, we can establish the following relations:

The mass of ethanol that reacts with 4.86 g of oxygen is:

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
