Is brown sugar a pure substance?

No. Brown sugar is a mixture, not a pure substance. According to
Wikipedia, "brown sugar is a sucrose sugar product with a
distinctive brown color due to the presence of molasses. It is
either an unrefined or partially refined soft sugar consisting of
sugar crystals with some residual molasses content, or it is
produced by the addition of molasses to refined white sugar."
