In a solution (in this case, sand), a Ph rating of 7 or "neutral" is given if the number of Hydronium ions is equivalent to the number of Hydroxide ions.

Sand is composed of minerals like quartz, which are chemically inert and do not significantly affect the pH of water. As a result, sand typically does not influence the pH of its surroundings and remains neutral. pH levels depend more on the substances dissolved in the water than on the sand itself.
