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.
Where there is a chemical reaction, there is a chemical equation. The chemical equation needs to be balanced so that it follows the law of conservation of mass. A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the different atoms of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.he equation is not balanced because in the reactants side, there are 2 nitrogen (N) atoms and 2 hydrogen (H) atoms. In the products side, there are 1 nitrogen (N) atoms and 3 hydrogen (H) atoms. The number of the atoms is not balanced on both sides.
