How many quarks in a grain of sand?

There are 3 quarks in each neutron. There are 12 neutrons in each proton. There is 1 proton in each atom. There is 36 quarks in each atom. There are about 27 million atoms in each grain of sand. 36 x 27,000,000 = 972,000,000. There are 972 million quarks in a grain of sand.


Is the universe in a grain of sand genuine?

The statement "the universe in a grain of sand" is often used metaphorically to convey that small things can contain great complexity and wonder. It's not meant to be taken as a literal representation of the universe existing within a grain of sand.


How many molecules are there in a grain of salt?

"Molecules are microscopic in size, so it is pretty hard to guess how many are in a grain of salt. One grain is probably made up of millions of molecules." ^ I am sorry someone hated you enough to ignore over 100 years of crystallography, chemistry and physics knowledge advancements to give you that crappy cop out answer Depending on the average size of a tiny salt grain, there can be between to .3 to 2 quintillion salt molecules in a grain of sodium chloride salt. Quintillion = 10^18, or one billion times one billion.


How do you measure the mass of a grain of sand?

This depends on the composition of the individual grain (which will effect it's density) and also on the size of the grain.Geologists and civil engineers split sand into 3 grades, from course (0.6 - 2 mm diameter), through medium (0.2 - 0.6 mm diameter) to fine (0.06 - 0.2 mm).As such sand is defined based on the size of the grains, not necessarily their composition. Sand grain composition can vary significantly however by far the most common mineral forming sand is quartz. Quartz has a density of 2650 kg / m cubed.As such a quartz sand grain may weigh as little as 0.007 grams and as much as 8 grams.

Are atoms larger than a grain of sand?

If the sand is totally silicon dioxide and is assumed to be a uniform volume of one cubic millimeter then the number would be approximately 2*10^19 molecules, or 20,000,000,000,000,000,000


How many moleculesin in a peace of sand?

Peace is actually a state of tranquility, which can, and is only experienced by a living organism; as defined by human beings. Unfortunately Sand cannot experience 'Peace', as it is not a living organism.If mean "HOW MANY MOLECULES ARE IN A PIECE OF SAND", then I cannot answer that. "A PIECE" is a segregated amount of a tangible or intangible item of idea. If you speak of a 'grain' of sand, then this answer is SLIGHTLY more possible. A grain of sand doesn't always weigh as much as the next grain of sand. So this question is quite difficult to answer, unless you have an exact weight. When you have the weight you can divide it by the molar mass of the sand (which usually is mainly composed of Silicon Dioxide) and multiply it by Avogadros number 6.0221415 × 1023 This will give the number of molecules.
