Depends on the sand in question. Are we talking black sand? That would be volcanic sand, which has different ingredients than white sand which is mostly calcium from seashells and silicon from rocks.... try specifying the sort of sand you're getting the formula for. Is there a particular beach you're studying? Are you just talking an average of all white sand beaches? Are we even talking beach sand, because deserts have sand too... sand is really any granular mineral of a certain particulate size generally worn down from a source of stone, and since the molecular composition of stone varies from rock to rock, your molecular composition of sand will vary significantly too. But normal sea sand, would mainly consisit of SiO2, i.e. Silicon dioxide.
