Silicon carbide, SiC, is commonly known as carborundum. This hard substance, which is used commercially as an abrasive, is made by heating SiO2 and C to high temperatures. SiO2(s) + 3C(s) → SiC(s) + 2CO(g)
How many grams of SiC form when 3.00 g of SiO2 and 4.50 g of C are allowed to react?
Group of answer choices

A)2.00 g

B)3.00 g

C)5.01 g

D)15.0 g
