Question
Write a balanced equation to represent the reaction shown.

**Diagram:**
The diagram consists of two parts, showing the reactants on the left and the products on the right.

**Reactants:**
- A molecule of methanethiol (CH3SH), consisting of a carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms and a sulfur atom, which is also bonded to a hydrogen atom.
- A molecule of hydrogen peroxide (HOOH), consisting of two oxygen atoms bonded together, with each oxygen atom also bonded to a hydrogen atom.

**Products:**
- A molecule of methanesulfenic acid (CH3S(OH)), where the sulfur atom is bonded to a hydroxyl group (OH) instead of directly to a hydrogen atom.
- A molecule of water (H2O), consisting of two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom.

**Balanced Equation:**
\[ \text{CH}_3\text{SH} + \text{HOOH} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{S(OH)} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]
