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.
Balanced Chemical Equation  Tells us which substances are the products and which substances are the reactants, and the relative amounts of each. Balancing Chemical Equations. In class demo Electrolysis of Water. The reaction that is taking place right now is the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen.Water Hydrogen + Oxygen. In this example water is the reactant (it will be completely destroyed if the reaction goes to completion), while hydrogen and oxygen are the products (they are created by this chemical reaction).alanced Chemical Equation  Tells us which substances are the products and which substances are the reactants, and the relative amounts of each.
