To calculate it find the volume of the sand in the container and multiply this by the density of the sand in the container.
A much easier way to find the mass of the sand is to weight the container with the sand in it, empty the sand out of the container (and into another container if you want to keep the sand), re-weight the now empty container and subtract this weight from the first.

Cubic kilometres for the volume of sand in a desert;
Cubic metres for the volume on a small beach;
Cubic centimetres for the volume in a child's bucket;
Tons for the mass of large volumes,
Kilograms for smaller volumes;
Grams for small volumes;
Micrometres for the fineness of the grains;
Then there are measures of reflectivity, etc.

- for a cylinder: V = 3,14159 x r2 x h
- for a cubic container: V = L x l x h,

How do you remove sand from a mixture in a beaker?
Type your answer here... filter the mixture

Why do you use filtration to separate sand and water?
Because sand is a solid and will be retained by the filter, whereas water is a liquid which will pass through the filter. The sand is not soluble in the water so it will remain a solid, rather than dissolving.
How would you separate sand from water into their components?
sand is opaqe,water is transparent First add the sand to water. Then filter the sand from water by a filter paper. This process is called filtration. Filtration is the process by which an insoluble solid is separated from a liquid. Sand will remain as residue on the filter paper and the water will be in in the beaker. Sand will be wet, so leave the sand outside so that the water will evaporate. Sedimentation - The process by which heavy particles settle down and get separated from the liquid is known as sedimentation. The sand settles at the bottom and the water will be on top, although this method will only allow the layers to get separated. So you won't get the sand and water in separate beakers. Decantation- Pouring out the clear liquid leaving behind the sediment is known as decantation. First add the sand to water. The mud will settle at the bottom of the beaker. The water will be on top, so now pour out the liquid to another beaker. You must be careful while doing this step, because if you disturb the solution the sand will get mixed with water. Then again you have to wait till the sand settles down at the bottom of the beaker.
If a 60 kg granite boulder were broken down into sand grains and if quartz made up 35 percent of the boulders mass how many kilograms of the resulting sand would be quartz grains?
35% of 65kg. Total mass does not change regardless of how many pieces the object is broken into
How do you measure mass of sand?
You can weigh it.
Why is it important to let the sand settle first at the bottom of the beaker before pouring the solution into another beaker?
It is important to let the sand settle at the bottom of your beaker so that the sand is separated from the liquid.
Explain Why a beaker containing sand and water is mixture although sand itself is a pure substance?
Because you mixed sand and water together in the beaker.
To separate a mixtuer of copper sulfate and sand?
Get a funnel and a beaker and something to hold the funnel over the beaker. Put a paper which is fitted to the funnel so the sand cant get through, you pour the mixture of sand and copper sulfate into the funnel. So the sand stays on top of the paper and the liquids travel through the paper into the beaker.
How can you separate a mixture of salt sand and water other than by filtering it?
Pour the sand, salt, water mixture through a filter into beaker 1. The sand will be left behind. Pour this into beaker 2. Evaporate the liquid, condensing the vapor into beaker 3. This will be pure water, leaving the salt in beaker 2.
How do you separate sand from soil?
Take 100 ml beaker put you material which has sand and dirt in it and stir with a stirring rod 10- 15 minutes. Once you are done with that you then allow the beaker to stand for 20-30 minutes gradually as time goes you will see the different layer in the beaker with sand at the bottom of beaker as it is heavier than dirt and then a layer of dirt on it.

What is the best method of separation for sand and salt?
Put them in a beaker. Add water to the mixture. Agitate to insure dissolution. Centrifuge the colloidal suspension. Pour off the water into a different beaker and heat to 100C. Salt will be in the beaker where water was after complete evaporation. Sand will be in the other after drying. Sand doesn't dissolve in water. Salts do.

How much is a ton of sand in meters?
There can be no equivalence. A ton of sand represents the mass of a volume of sand. The volume is a 3-dimensional measure whereas a metre is a measure of length or distance in 1-dimensional space. According to basic rules of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from volume to length is fundamentally flawed.
Which method gives the best results when separating a mixture of sand and water?
Filtration. Place a glass funnel over a beaker, and put a circle of filter paper inside the funnel. Pour the sand-water mixture into the filter paper. The sand should get trapped by the paper, but the water should seep through into the beaker.
