Answer:
4.5 kilograms of silicon dioxide is required to produce 3.00 kg of SiC.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction between silicon dioxide and carbon at high temperature is given as:

1 mole silicon dioxide reacts with 3 moles of carbon to give 1 moles of silicon carbide and 2 moles of carbon monoxide.
Mass of SiC = 3.00kg = 3000.00 g
1 kg = 1000 g
Molecular mass of SiC = 40 g/mol
Moles of SiC = 
According to reaction, 1 mole of SiC is produced from 1 mole of silicon dioxide.
Then 75 moles of SiC will be produce from:
of silicon dioxide.
mass of 75 moles of silicon dioxde:

4.5 kilograms of silicon dioxide is required to produce 3.00 kg of SiC.
Touch can sense the texture, and you can see what color it is, but if your talking about chemical properties, I'd say smell, color, and heat can identify some chemicals.
1 of them would be baking or cooking because you can't redo that out of the same things. if that makes since.
