The gizzard: The bird stomach's second chamber is known as the gizzard. If you've ever eaten a chicken gizzard you know how tough and rubbery it is. To accomplish what the gizzard does, it absolutely must be tough, for the gizzard's main function is to grind and digest tough food.
C12H22O11 + 12 O2 Â® 12 CO2 + 11 H2O This illustrates the methods used for writing balanced reaction equations: 1  Determine the reactants and products. In this case, the products are CO2 and H2O, determined by common sense. 2  Apply the fundamental principle of conservation of atoms.
Just like we want the scale to be balanced on both sides, a chemical equation should also be balanced on both sides. A chemical equation shows us the substances involved in a chemical reaction-the substances that react (reactants) and the substances that are produced (products).owever, the number of hydrogen (H) atoms is not balanced on both sides. We need to make use of another coefficient in front of H2. This time, we put a coefficient of 3 in front of H2 to balance the chemical equation. The equation above is now balanced.
