A student is titrating a vinegar solution to determine the acetic acid (HC2H3O2) content. They add exactly 10.00 mL of the solution to a flask with a few drops of phenolphtahalein, and titrate it with an NaOH solution. The NaOH concentration is 0.6 M and it takes 12.04 mL to neutralize the acid and reach the endpoint. What is the molar concentration (M) of the acetic acid in the vinegar solution?
