well it is about 2.8 or 2.9 if it isn't wet.

How many grains of sand are in one square inch?
It depends on the kind of sand you're talking about.There are five different types of sand, ranging from very fine to very course. Let's take the middle type of sand, which is medium sand.A grain of medium sand is between 1/50 of an inch and 1/100 of an inch. If you take the middle number between that range (~1/67), then we can estimate that a square inch of sand would have approximately 4500 grains of sand (67 squared is 4,489). This assumes a completely flat layer of sand one grain deep.A cubic inch of such sand would have just over 300,000 grains of sand.Obviously this number will vary based on the type of sand you're working with and can only be used for estimation purposes.IMPROVEMENT:Hmmm, first of all, the "middle number" would seem to be 1/75, not 1/67. Let's take 1/75.Second, the packing could be much denser than what the computation above seems to assume. With a denser packing of the grains of sand, a computation shows a shade less than 600,000 grains of 1/75" sand in a cubic inch.

This matter has a density of 30 ml and mass of 579g what is it?
You mean a volume of 30 ml and mass of 579 g. Its s density = mass/volume = 579/30 = 19.3 g/ml which is very heavy. It could be several choices, but GOLD is that density...

What is the density of sand?
Density of sand can vary depending on the grain size and moisture content and how tightly it is compactedIf you dont need very accurate densities the following should helpSand, wet 1922 Sand, wet, packed 2082 Sand, dry 1602 Sand, loose 1442 Sand, rammed 1682 Sand, water filled 1922 Sand with Gravel, dry 1650 Sand with Gravel, wet 2020density of sand will vary depending upon the condition.that is for wet,dry,gravel..
What is basalt's grain size?
Basalt's grain size is considered to be super-fine and very smooth.
What determines the grain shape of a rock?
The size and shape of grain in igneous rock is determined by the same factors. Everything depends on how fast or slow the molten rock cools. If the molten rock is extruded from a volcano, it cools so fast that a very fine grained rock is the result.
