Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the reactants and products in the given chemical equation: reactants are CH_3SH and O_2, and products are CO_2, SO_2, and H_2O.
Understand that the products are the substances formed as a result of the chemical reaction, which appear on the right side of the equation.
Note that CH_3SH is a reactant (on the left side), so it is not a product.
Recognize that CO_2, SO_2, and H_2O appear on the right side of the equation, indicating they are products formed from the reaction.
Conclude that the products of the reaction are CO_2, SO_2, and H_2O, while CH_3SH is a reactant.
