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.
These are: 1. Write a balanced equation for the reaction 2. Calculate the molecular weight of each reactant and product 3. Convert all amounts of reactants and products into moles 4. Figure out the limiting reagent 5. Calculate the theoretical yield 6. Calculate the percentage yield 1. Write a balanced equation for the reaction: To figure out percentage yield you need to know the correct ratio of each of the reactants and products of interest (the stoichiometry of the reaction).
