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.
Students should already be familiar with types of chemical reactions and how to write balanced equations. Although this lab is designed for a high school General Chemistry course, it could easily be adapted for other situations by using more guidance, use of different chemicals, or doing the demonstration yourself.earning Goals. The students will observe a chemical reaction given a set of instructions. The student will determine the balanced chemical equation of the reaction. The student will determine the type of chemical reaction that has occurred based on the results.
