When you mix sand and water it sinks to the bottom so what do you call that?

It is called a residue solution. Meaning that sand is heavier than water, after the process of mixing each other it settles down to the bottom of the water.

What is the physical appearance of sand water mixture?
strange question but the sand sinks and falls to the bottom of the water, ti wll never ever dissolve in water but just sinks to the base of a beaker
When sand and salt is added to water the salt dissloves and the sand sinks to the bottom what process could you use to recover both the sand and the salt?
1. Filtering the liquid sand remain on the filter. 2. The solution containing salt pass the filter; after the evaporation of water crystallized NaCl is obtained.
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.
What is form When an insoluble substance settles to the bottom of a liquid?
Any solid that sinks to the bottom of a liquid can be called a sediment.
What would happen if you mix oil sand and water in a cup?
Sand is at the bottom; water above and above water the oil.
What would happen if you stirred water and sand?
If you stirred water and sand together, you would have a mixture of water and sand until the sand sinks to the bottom.

When you add sand to water why does the sand settle at the bottom of the water?
Sand is heavier then water (denser) so it sinks. If you add oil to water, oil is less dense (lighter) than water so it floats.
Is it true that sand sinks in water because water is more dense than sand?
No. Sand sinks in water because sand is more dense than water, not the other way around.
What happens to sand when it gets wet?
Some of the sand will sink to the bottom of the water. There is no chemical reaction. However, some of the sand may go into suspension, making the water muddy. This is a physical change that can be reversed by filtering the muddy water.
What is heavier bottle of water or cup of water?
A cup of sand, sand sinks in water, thus its heavier.
Why is decanting an effective method of separation for water and sand?
Sand is a lot denser than water and sinks to the bottom, so it is relatively easy to pour off the water which is on top. You won't get every drop, that way, but you can easily get most of it.

Is sand salt and water a heterogeneous?
Yes. A heterogeneous mixture is one that lacks uniformity. When salt water (a homogeneous mixture) and sand are placed in the same container, the sand sinks to the bottom and the salt solution remains, largely, above the sand, demonstrating the characteristic lack of uniformity. See related link, below.
Does sand sink in water because water it is more dense then sand?
Essentially, sand is more dense and has more mass, thus it sinks. durr. hi
