The density of quartz is around 2.6, meaning that it weighs 2.6 times as much as an equal volume of water.
2.2 to 2.6 ( for fused silica) 2.1 for normal silica g/L 2.2 to 2.6 ( for fused silica) 2.1 for normal silica g/L
On a scale Quartz is about a 4
There is no material simply called "silicate," so this question does not have an answer. There is a mineral called silica. There is a whole class of minerals called silicates as a group. There is the element silicon. Once you specify which specific material you need the density of, then you can get an answer.
Silica is colorless.
Yes. It depends on the minerals contained in the sand. For example, a sand with iron oxides in it will have a greater density than a pure silica sand.
It will be lighter. Because the silica makes the rocks explode from the valcanos. The only rock that has height silica content and is dark is Quartz.
Iron is heavier because iron is a metal and metals are heavier but silica is not a metal so silica is lighter than iron.

Aerogels are a diverse class of materials which can be composed of many different substances. The lowest density aerogels that have ever been produced were silica aerogels about 0.0011 g/cm3 in density, making them about 2002 times lower density than fused silica, a high-purity form of glass which has a density of 2.203 g/cm3. This is the most useful direct comparison since the composition of silica aerogels and fused silica are the most alike. In comparison to common soda-lime glass, which contains elements other than silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen and has a density of about 2.52 g/cm3, these ultralow density aerogels are 2291 times lower density. Typically, silica aerogels and non-silica aerogels range from about 0.01 g/cm3 to 0.5 g/cm3 in density, so a useful range to report would be "between 5 to 250 times lower in density than common soda-lime glass, and as low as 2290 times for the lightest aerogels ever produced".

Spiral Concentrators are used in Iron ore beneficiation plants for Gravity Separation. It separates the higher density Iron Ore from Silica based on density difference as concentrate, middling & tailing.

Silica is colorless.
Solute silica may be in form of silica gel. Silica is usually made up of silicon which is combined with oxygen.
Rhyolite is felsic and thus silica rich.
Any metrial or thing which containts silica in it is call silica content..
