Absolutely not. A pure substance is a substance that consists of only one species. This is a hypothetical scenario, as the closest thing in a household is probably copper wire. Even distilled water (a great deal purer than sea water) is a mixture of H2O and some ions.

How is pure water obtained from sea water in Africa?
they can get the sea water into a chamber then evaporate it and make it go through a pipe then condense it into someing
When you filter sea water to remove all of the particles you would be left with a clear?
Yes, cleaning up sea water by reverse osmosis produces essentially pure water. Similarly, when sea water freezes, the sea ice consists of essentially pure water, as the salt particles are prevented from forming part of the ice crystal matrix. If you merely used a size graded filter, then most of the solutes in the sea water would still remain, the calcium, magnesium compounds, etc.
What temperature does tap water boil at?
At normal atmospheric pressure, i.e. near sea level, water boils at 212 F or 100 C. The fact that it is tap water, not pure water, would make very little difference.
At what temperature does steam turn to water?
At normal pressure steam changes to liquid water at 212 degree F.
Which methods can be used to obtain fresh water from seawater?
The process of converting salt water to fresh water is called desalination and there is a lot of information on the subject. Mother nature turns salt water into fresh water everyday by evaporation of water from the oceans. Clouds, with water vapor, water droplets and ice crystals form from evaporation. Then, it rains or snows nearly pure water/ice. When humans artificially create pure water, the water is typically heated to drive the pure water off as water vapor and leave the salts behind. In chemistry, heating a liquid to vaporize it so that it condenses in a purer form is a process is called "distillation". Another process, more specifically for water, is reverse osmosis filtration through a series of differentially permeable membranes allowing pure water to pass while trapping salts and other impurities. When any process is used to remove salts from seawater, the process is called desalination.
What is the freezing point of sea water and pure water?
the sea water contains more salt. the pure water do not contain salt. the density of sea water is more than density of pure water. as there is more salt in sea water it is corrosive against the metals like aluminium. the pure water is not corrosive in nature. sea water is harmful for drinking. pure water is good for drinking.
Is sea water pure compound?
No.
Does sea water conduct electricity?
yes. because sea water is a mixture. it is not pure water.
How do you make sea water into pure water?
I would imagine that the sea water would have to run through a water purifier.
Does a coin sink faster in pure water than it does in sea water?
Yes, a coin does sink slightly faster in pure water than it does in sea water. The dissolved salts in sea water make the water denser, and as a result, objects immersed in sea water will experience greater buoyancy than they do in fresh water.
How Step by step how do you make pure water from sea water?
you can distill it
How do you separate and collect pure water from sea water?
ask a friend
What are the benefits of converting salt water into pure water?
you can drink pure water and irrigate with it. if the only water available is the sea then you would have to convert it
Is sea water mixture or pure substance?
It is a mixture. A pure substance contains only one type of substance or one species of any substance or element. Sea water is a mixture of different salts dissolved in water. Thus, it is not a pure substance. Another point is that the different components of sea water can be observed separately.
What is sea water compound or a mixture?
It's a compound mixture because it's not pure water so isn't pure!
What test do you apply to sea water to become pure water?
simple distillation
What method is best for separating pure water from a sea water solution?
distillation
