Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Sand is heavier than water, which means it has a higher density. There is no response when we mix sand and water. The sand just sinks to the bottom of the container of water. This is due to the fact that sand is heavier than water and hence cannot float in water, a process known as sedimentation.
