A laboratory has four pure substances.
| Substance | Name | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| W | copper sulfate | CuSO4\text{CuSO}_4CuSO4 |
| X | bromine | Br2\text{Br}_2Br2 |
| Y | silver | Ag\text{Ag}Ag |
| Z | carbon | C\text{C}C |
Which one of these substances can be broken down into different elements, but only by a chemical reaction?
Substance W, copper sulfate, CuSO4\text{CuSO}_4CuSO4
Substance X, bromine, Br2\text{Br}_2Br2
Substance Y, silver, Ag\text{Ag}Ag
Substance Z, carbon, C\text{C}C
