On average, wet sand can weigh around 120-150 pounds per cubic foot. Given that 1 gallon is approximately 0.1337 cubic feet, 55 gallons of wet sand may weigh between 725-910 pounds.

To weigh a wet diaper, first weigh the baby on a scale. Then, remove the wet diaper and weigh the baby again. The difference in weight between the two measurements will give you the weight of the wet diaper.
One way to get dry sand and water from wet sand is to let the wet sand dry in the sun. The water will evaporate, leaving behind dry sand. You can also use a strainer or filter to separate the water from the wet sand.
Blowing on a pile of sand will displace grains of sand. How much sand you move and how far will depend on the sand and how hard you blow on it. If it's wet sand, the force of the air you expel won't do much, but if it's dry sand and you're close and use a big breath, you'll get a lot of action.
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.
A 5 gallon bucket of wet sand can weigh between 40-60 pounds, depending on the moisture content and type of sand.
Exactly how much more it weighs will depend on how wet it is.
It will depend on (a) the bulk density of the dry sand and (b) the moisture content of the wet sand.
Sand, dirt, and other dry things weigh more if it is wet.
Can weigh up to 700 pounds when it is wet.
The weight of a 14.1 L bag of sand can vary based on the type of sand, but on average, dry sand weighs about 1.6 kg per liter. Therefore, a 14.1 L bag of sand would typically weigh around 22.6 kg (or about 50 pounds). If the sand is wet, it could weigh significantly more due to the added water content.
About 1.2 pounds of dry sand equals 1 pound of wet sand. When sand is wet, it typically weighs more due to the water content.

Sand can be wet or dry.
...quite a lot
Anyone who has dug a shovelful of wet sand and a shovelful of dry sand will tell you that the wet sand is quite a bit heavier than the dry sand. Dry sand is composed of individual particles with air in the spaces between grains. When you add water to a bucket of dry sand, the water replaces the air. Although the bucket is already full of sand, you can pour in quite a bit of water, adding that much more weight. If you have a choice of which bucket to carry, pick the bucket of dry sand every time!
I weighed a cup of sand which equalled 12.45 ounces (used 12.5 ounces for computing purposes). So, 1 gallon of sand (16 cups) equals 200 ounces or divided by 16 ounces/pound, equals 12.5 pounds/gallon.
