sandstone
silica sand is made up of fine grains
Sand is not a compound and haven't a molar mass; also different types of sand exist.
A process referred to as compaction and cementation , where by heat (by pressure - as volume decreases , pressure increases and temperature rises ) rocks and particles become buried and are stuck together or rather "cemented" together by these above mentioned processes.

Yes it is, sand grains are commonly made from quartz.
A good estimate is somewhere between 4 1/2 and 5 gallons in 60 lb of dry sand, depending on how tightly it is packed and how fine the grains are. .
Most sand grains are made of quartz, also known as silica or silicon dioxide.
sand grains
The primary constituent of sand grains is silicon dioxide, with formula SiO2.
Sand can be identified by what it is made of and what size the grains are. This can usually be done by the human eye.
Sandstone is made up of lightly compacted or cemented grains of sand. It should feel gritty to the finger and the grains should be visible. The grains will be mainly silica grains. [Finer grained material would be a siltstone, of which slate is a metamorphosed variety. ]
