Answer:

stomach

Step-by-step explanation:

stomach churns the food (mechanical digestion) and the enzymes in the hydrochloric acid perform the chemical digestion part.

i believe mouth also does the same because it technically chemically digests with the enzyme amylase in the saliva but the overall answer is stomach.
