What is heavier 1 gallon of water or 1 pound of sand?

1 gallon of water is heavier than 1 pound of sand. Water has a density of 8.34 pounds per gallon, so 1 gallon of water weighs more than 1 pound of sand.


How much does a gallon of wet sand weigh?

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.


Does sand sink in water because water it is more dense then sand?

Essentially, sand is more dense and has more mass, thus it sinks. durr. hi


Is water more dense than sand?

Yes Sand is more dense than water because it sinks in water... therefore it is denserIts mass is much higher.If you do you a mass-to-volume ratio you should get you answer.(mass/volume)Or just test if it sinks ( it will )


What is heavier a cup of water or a cup of sand?

The mass of a volume of a material depends on its density. A cup of water is likely to have less mass than a cup of sand, because the density of rock is generally much greater than water, and sand is fine particles of rock.Sand can be packed into a cup at different densities, but even if only lightly poured into the cup, the air between the sand particles will not be sufficient to make the density lighter than that of water, as most rock is at least twice as dense as water.Some rocks are apparently less dense than water: they even float! But, this is because they have trapped air bubbles in them which lighten them, and once ground into sand, they will be much denser as the air is no longer trapped within the rock.Some examples of densities are:water 1 g/cm3granite 2.7 g/cm3sandstone 2.3 g/cm3

What takes up more space 50 pounds of sand or 50 pounds of water?

Sand sinks in water, so it is more dense. Density = mass/volume. Or Volume = Mass/Density. For the same mass, more dense substance will take up less volume. So the water takes up more space.


Does 1cup of sand and 1cup of water have the same mass?

Depends on the volume of each. But if it's an equal volume, then coffee.

If you add water to sand does the volume density and mass change?

Well, honey, when you add water to sand, the volume will likely increase, but the density and mass will depend on the proportions of water and sand you mix. If you add just a little water, the density may increase slightly due to the added mass, but if you add a lot of water, the density will decrease because water is less dense than sand. So, the volume changes, but the density and mass can go either way depending on how much water you throw into the mix.


How much sand can a gallon of water hold?

10 gallons of sand would do the job nicely.


Which weighs more sand or water?

a UK pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter.8xpints equal 1 UK gallon.answer 10lbs total weight a UK gallon of water.sand is measured in buckets not weight comparable.reckon equal weights. A UK Gallon is a unit of Volume. A UK Gallon of water weighs very close to 10 Pounds. Anything which is Denser than water, will sink when placed in it. Another way to look at is: Which is Denser; Water or Sand?You know sand sinks in water, therefore an equivalent Volume of Sand must be heavier than the same volume of water. However, the sand particles have quite a bit of air spaces between them , therefore it is possible that a cupful of sand may be almost the same weight as a cupful of water, but what you need to know is the comparable Densities, not the weights or volumes. Sand is definitely Denser than water.


What has the greatest specific heat - granite rock - sand or water?

Water has the highest specific heat, sand and granite could be very similar but there are very many types of sand so no definite relationship can be given without more information.
