Answer:

pure chemical substance and compound

Step-by-step explanation:

All compounds are pure. If this sample of methane ( CH4 ) had been impure, we would call it a mixture, not a compound.

The term that can be used to describe the content of the gas turbine is "pure methane". This means that the gas turbine is composed of 100% methane and nothing else. Although it must be noted that some of the fuels are only methane-rich but not 100% methane.
