The movement of a grain of dust in water is due to Brownian motion, where the random collision of water molecules causes the dust particle to move unpredictably. This motion is a result of the thermal energy of the water molecules and is observable on a microscopic scale.
There are approximately 64.8 milligrams in 1 grain.
The exact mass of a dust particle can vary greatly depending on its size and composition. On average, a typical indoor dust particle might have a mass on the order of micrograms (10^-6 grams), whereas larger particles like sand grains can have masses on the order of milligrams (10^-3 grams) or more.
There are approximately 1.96 x 10^20 dust particles in 2.45 grams of dust. This is calculated by dividing the total mass of dust by the mass of each particle and converting it to dozens.
A dust explosion is caused by the ignition of fine particles suspended in air in a confined space. When ignited, the dust particles rapidly combust, creating a sudden increase in pressure that results in an explosion. Industries such as agriculture, food processing, and manufacturing are at higher risk for dust explosions due to the presence of combustible materials.

Grain of sand is bigger
A grain of water would contain approximately 3 x 10^21 water molecules. Since each water molecule consists of 3 atoms (2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen), the total number of atoms in a grain of water would be approximately 9 x 10^21 atoms.

If the sand is totally silicon dioxide and is assumed to be a uniform volume of one cubic millimeter then the number would be approximately 2*10^19 molecules, or 20,000,000,000,000,000,000

We don't need to weigh grains of dust in cooking measurements.

Many things can be smaller than a rock, such as a pebble, a grain of sand, or even a speck of dust.
A very very tiny scale
Concentrations of grain dust above certain limits were susceptible to burning rapidly if ignited. Dust control was also necessary to limit possible worker exposure to microorganisms, pesticide residues, toxins, insect parts
