![**Chemical Reaction Equation Example**
**Prompt:**
Write a balanced equation to represent the reaction shown.
**Diagram Explanation:**
*On the left side of the arrow:*
- The first structure is a molecule with the formula CH₃SH. It consists of a carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms and a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom.
- The second structure is a diatomic molecule with the formula HOH, which is water.
*On the right side of the arrow:*
- The first structure is a rearranged molecule with the formula CH₃SCH₃. It consists of a carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, connected to a sulfur atom which is also bonded to another set of CH₃.
- The second structure shows a rearranged molecule of water with the formula HOOH, indicating possibly an incorrect depiction as HOOH typically represents hydrogen peroxide.
**Balanced Equation:**
\[ \text{CH}_3\text{SH} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{SCH}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]
(Note: There seems to be an error in the structures implying a need for clarification. Typically, CH₃SH and water would not rearrange in this manner without additional reactants or products being involved, suggesting this is an educational simplification.)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe68d8d7b-d6d8-4326-b914-4f31e7abf8e2%2F61cad9fb-29a6-4498-9ae2-5f7bc3a10b4d%2F80in41_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
