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.

What happens when copper sulphate is mixed with sand?

When copper sulfate is mixed with sand, the two substances will remain physically separated and not react with each other. Copper sulfate is water-soluble and can dissolve in water, leaving the sand unaffected. This physical mixture can be separated by methods such as filtration.
