Is oil and vinegar a pure substance or a mixture?

A COMPOUND is 1 thing. If you were asking is a bottle of oil a compound then yes it is. Since all the oil molecules are the same in that bottle, it would be a compound. Since vinegar and oil are obviously not the same thing due to the fact that they have different names as well as different compositions. Vinegar and oil is obviously a mixture of two different things. Technically, i am not 100% positive, vinegar i believe is generally a mix of water and some sort of acid. This would mean vinegar itself is a mixture as well.
