Copper is more dense than water itself. Water has a density of 1g/mL, so it would have to be a really small metal to not be more dense than water.

How do you get copper from copper sulfate solution?
Copper can be obtained from copper sulfate solution by electroplating it onto an electrode or by adding a metal higher in the electromotive series than copper, such as iron, to the solution. The more active metal will dissolve by displacing copper in metallic form from the copper sulfate.
Why is iron able to replace copper in copper sulfate?
Iron is more reactive than copper.
What happen when copper sulphate is stored in iron vessel?
Since iron is a more active metal than copper, the iron would replace the copper in the copper sulfate, forming iron sulfate, and releasing elemental copper. The copper will not shape itself into a copper vessel, so eventually, the iron sulfate would leak out of the iron vessel, and eventually, if there is enough copper sulfate, the iron vessel will cease to exist.
What happen if add heat to anhydrous copper sulfate?
Copper sulfate can be thermally dissociated at apptox. 500 oC.
What do copper and zinc make?
SO4 (sulfate) is soluble only when combined with Ba2+, Pb2+, Ca2+, and Sr2+. Since ZnSO4 is not soluble, nothing happens.
What does CuSO4 represent?
Cu is copper. SO4^2- is the sulfate anion. Together they make copper sulfate, or more correctly, copper(II) sulfate.
Which of the crystal solutes iodine and copper sulfate do you think is ionic and WHY?
The copper sulfate is ionic because it dissolves much more easily in water and other substances than the iodine does, which means it is an ion.
Why can iron be used to get copper from copper sulfate?
Iron can be used to get copper from Copper Sulfate because it is more reactive than Copper (higher up in the reactivity series).
How do you separate copper from copper sulfate?
Given its an ionic compound, you could probably just disassociate it with water. Or you could react it with a more electrophilic metal than Copper is.
Which of the two is more dense Copper or Nickel?
Copper

Why does copper ii sulfate react with aluminum?
Yes. Iron is more reactive than copper, so will displace it from a compound. If you put a piece of iron into copper sulfate solution, it will be soon coated with a deposit of orangey red copper.CuSO4 + Fe --> FeSO4 + Cu
Is it true that more copper 2 sulfate can be added to water if the water is heated?
Until someone comes along who know about copper sulfate specifically, I can say that most soluble crystalline compounds dissolve more readily in hot water and the water (at least will still hot) will hold more of the compound. But, as it cools is can become supersaturated and some of the compound may precipitate out.
