The traditional way to form acetic acid is through the fermentation of ethanol through the action of acetic acid bacteria. This is an aerobic reaction: \[ \mathrm{C} 2 \mathrm{H} 5 \mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{O} 2 \rightarrow \mathrm{CH} 3 \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{H} 2 \mathrm{O} \] What would be the mass flow rate of oxygen reacting in \( \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{hr} \) in the feed stream into the reactor if \( 743.4 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{hr} \) of ethanol are reacted, with a conversion to acetic acid of \( 90 \% \). The oxygen is supplied set at a rate of \( 30 \% \) excess of the theoretical oxygen. [report to two decimal points e. g. 3.45]
