24K gold is a pure substance but it is not suitable for making any items because it is too soft.

Hence, we use copper or silver and mix it with 24K gold and make it 22K gold which is hard enough to be used. It is a mixture

No, a gold ring is not a heterogeneous mixture. It can generally be thought of as a homogeneous mixture. It will be pure metal, or an alloy, and the metals that are included in the alloy are evenly distributed throughout the object.

Technically... both.

24k gold is the highest purity of gold. Most people refer to this as pure gold, however there are still trace amounts of impurities in it.
