Which of the following is a pure substance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Copper

The direct answer is C: copper. A pure substance has a fixed composition and consistent properties. It may be an element, made of one kind of atom, or a compound, made of elements chemically joined in a fixed ratio. Copper is an element, so a properly pure sample contains only copper atoms and has a definite composition. Option C is correct. Option A, sea water, is a mixture of water, dissolved salts and other substances, so its composition can vary. Option B, air, is a mixture of gases such as nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide, so it is not one pure substance. Option D, soil, contains mineral particles, organic matter, water and air in varying amounts, so it is also a mixture. The key reasoning is not whether something looks uniform, but whether its composition is fixed. Remember: element or compound can be pure; air, soil and sea water are mixtures.
