Explanation:

Ocean water is a mixture of water and salt. Mixtures can be physically separated. In the case of water - salt mixture in ocean water, techniques like distillation can be used to separate them as water has a lower boiling point than salt and will evaporate first leaving the salt behind. Water and salt are not chemically bonded in ocean water, so it is not a compound. Also, salt does not evaporate under normal conditions while water does.

Answer:

the mixture of water and salt can be physically separated.
