9. Grains of California beach sand are approximately spheres with a radius of, on average, 50 µm. They are made of silicon dioxide, which has a density of 2600 kg/m. What mass of sand grains would have a total surface area (i.e. the total surface area of all the individual spheres) equal to the surface area of a cube 1.00 m on an edge?
