What are the chemical properties of glass?
Glass is almost completely made of silica (silicon dioxide), the naturally occurring form of the element silicon. This is basically the same substance as quartz and common sand. Silica is the most abundant substance on Earth and is paradoxically a liquid.

Is mixing of glass pieces and sand a chemical change or physical change?

What evidence do you have that changing sand into glass is a chemical change?
Making glass from sand is a physical because the actual composition of the substance (silica) is not changing. Making glass is just melting all the bits of sand into a large piece (glass).
What is the difference between the chemical formula of sand and glass?
Sand is usually nearly pure silicon dioxide but may have other metal oxides also. The same is true for glass, but the fraction of material other than silicon dioxide is usually larger for glass. Neither of them is a pure compound; therefore neither of them has any exact chemical formula.
What is the difference between sandblasted glass and frosted glass?
Sand blasted means exactly that - The surface has be blasted by high pressure sand Frosted Glass is in the marjority formed by chemical compunds painted across the glass and then wasted off leaving the frosted effect. Chemical frosting is less destructive than sand blasting
