Yes, they can. Sand is almost all oxides of silicon, and it won't react with water. There is no "danger" associated with filling a container with sand, adding water to cover it, then snapping on a lid. If you'd like to use a mason jar with a screw on lid, go for it. Just don't let either container freeze or allow it to get too hot, as freezing or boiling water expands and creates pressure.

How to separate salt and sand from water and calculate the percent of mass?

You add water to the container then you stir, the water and salt would form a solution and sand would settle on the bottom of the container. You get another container and place on a filter paper then you pour the water into it, which would lead to the sand staying in the filter paper and the solution, which is made of salt and water, would be left. Finally, you place the container on a source of heat which will cause the water to evaporate and salt staying in the container. Now weigh the residue and find the percentage.

How can you separate sand and water in a liquid?

Allow the mixture to stand without disturbance, until the heavier sand sinks to the bottom of the container; then skim the water from the top of the container. Also, you can boil the mixture evaporating the water into another pot or bowl thus leaving behind the sand. Filtration is another possibility.
