No, a salt solution is not a pure substance. It is a mixture of salt (solute) dissolved in water (solvent). A pure substance contains only one type of element or compound with a fixed chemical composition.

Is saltwater a substance?

no Its a solution. If you mix salt in water, the salt dissolves. It is then a solution. That is not a mixture. It may well be a pure substance. If it is pure salt water it is pure. But if you add some soap it is then pure soapy salt water. What does pure mean? Pure is not a scientific term, so its meaning is debatable. Pure orange juice for instance, has no real meaning as orange juice contains many different things, so how is it pure? In fact if by the previous persons definition of pure, [wood is not but glass is] is incorrect as glass is a compound of several things as is wood. Pure water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen. So is that pure ,or not?
