The Pacific Ocean is a salt water ocean.
All oceans and seas and bays connected to oceans are salt water. They all have pretty nearly the same amount of salt, about 3.5% by weight. 96.5% of all water on Earth is salt water in oceans, seas and bays. (Saline ground water is 1% more.)
Fresh water, the 2.5% that is not salt water, comes from rain and snow and is accumulated in lakes and glaciers and ground water. Most (60%) of fresh water is frozen.

∙ 11y agoNo it is not. A pure substance is one that can only be broken down by chemical means. Because the ocean is made up of different things (salt, water, other minerals, fish, etc.) that can be physically broken down (by evaporation for example), it is not a pure substance.
Pure substances are classified as either Elements or Compounds.
The ocean is a Mixture. Some would classify it as a Heterogeneous mixture because of the seaweed and fish and whatnot in it. The water in the ocean itself is a Homogeneous Mixture (also known as a Solution).
