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.
To do this, we need to put a coefficient of 4 in front of Fe in the products side. Now that the Fe atoms are balanced, we can balance the carbon atoms. We do this by putting a coefficient of 3 in front of C on the reactants side. The chemical equation is now balanced.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.
