Answer:

It can be chemically separated if it is a compound. The gas carbon dioxide is a pure substance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a pure substance because it has a fixed composition no matter where it was taken. Each molecule of carbon dioxide will always have 1 carbon and 2 oxygens.
