It burns quicker because when it is sprayed, the oxygen particles (0) completely overwhelm and surround the petrol particles. Oxygen is a compulsory supply in order to make something burn. And the reason for why petrol does not burn quickly when it is in a bowl is because the Oxygen particles only surround the surface of the petrol rather than surrounding the whole thing like when it is sprayed. ()-> a circle -> oxygen particles collide from all sides of the droplets sprayed-> burns quicker |_|-> petrol in a bowl-> oxygen particles can only collide into the surface of the petrol-> consumes more time to burn the petrol.

Will petrol mixed in sand burn?

Yes, petrol mixed with sand can burn, but the effectiveness of the combustion will be significantly reduced compared to burning petrol in its liquid form. The sand acts as an inert material that can absorb some of the heat and prevent the petrol from igniting fully. While the petrol can still ignite and produce some flames, the mixture will not sustain a fire as efficiently as pure petrol would.
