<h3>Answer:</h3>

When a disulfide linkage is formed, the compound containing this new linkage has been <u>oxidized</u>.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Oxidation reaction is defined as,

i) Addition of Oxygen Atoms:

When oxygen atom is added to any compound, then the compound is said to be oxidized and the reaction is known as oxidation reaction.

Example:

Oxidation of Alcohols into carboxylic acids:

R---CH₂--OH → R---COOH

ii) Removal of Hydrogen Atoms:

When hydrogen atom(s) are removed from any compound, then the compound is said to be oxidized and the reaction is also called as oxidation reaction.

Example:

Formation of disulfide bond fro thiols:

R--S-H + R--S-H → R---S--S---R

Disulfide bond is quite popular in protein chemistry where it is formed in cystine from cystein amino acids.

xeze [42]

Hey there,

The blood needs to flow at a great and constant speed. It can not flow very slow because that can be warning's of a heart attack because your blood is using alot of force and its trying to provide as much blood as possible to arrive at the heart in order for your body to live. This is why we should drink water because as we drink water, it helps our blood flow through out our body well and so that we ma not have any problem now and in the future.

The answer is
<span>2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) = 2PbO(s) + 2SO2(g)

Your answer is not yet balanced because you have 3 oxygen atoms. it should be balanced by multiplying both side by 2 such as the balanced equation I made. To check it, I will explain why your answer is not yet balanced.

check: (from your equation)
</span> 1-Pb-1
1-S-1
2 -O-3
the difference between the reactant and the product of Oxygen will prove that it is not yet balanced.

If you use 2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) = 2PbO(s) + 2SO2(g), to check it:
2-Pb-2
2-S-2
6 -O-6
then this is now balance
