Sulphate of Iron to kill the moss and sand to act as a spreading agent.

Mostly Silica (SiO2) in the form of quartz. The rest of the composition varies greatly depending on climate and location.

Silicon and oxygen are the two elements that you combine to make sand. =]
No. Sand consists of tiny grains of rock. The bits of rock vary somewhat in composition, but generally do not contain molecular solids. Sand is mostly composed of covalent networks and ionic solids.
What is the best composition for lawn sand. Beaqring in mind I live near to the coast and the soil is very sandy approx 8" down.
Lawn sand is a mixture of fine dry sand and sulphate of iron which is used to kill moss in lawns and encourage growth.
Sulphate is the ion in lawn sand that kills moss. Lawn sand may contain ammonium sulphate or iron sulphate. It works as a homemade or store-bought treatment since it just requires equal amounts of sand (kiln-dried block paving sand or silver) and sulphate.

No. Sand varies in composition and grain size.
Yes. Sand can help level your lawn. Grass will grow through it unless it is very deep.
Sharp sand feels sharp to the touch and is a much coarser material than lawn sand which is often called soft sand or builder's sand. If you want to lay bricks, soft sand is much easier to work with and to smooth down.

NO
Composition means what something is made from, as in "The composition of this soil is sand and loam."
Well, you want to start by adding peat moss, cheaper; and get about 50/50 sand and peat moss down to 6" or so. then, you only need about 3" of topsoil on that for lawn.
This varies with the exact composition of the sand. For pure quartz sand it is 830 J per kg per degree C.
