Sand does not dissolve in water. Sand is primarily composed of silica (silicon dioxide), which is insoluble in water. When sand is mixed with water, it can remain suspended temporarily, but it will eventually settle to the bottom as the sand particles are too large and heavy to stay dissolved. Instead of dissolving, sand can form mixtures or suspensions in water, but it will not undergo a chemical change or disappear in the water like a soluble substance would.
