Best Answer

On the copper surface, as a result of reactions with oxygen, carbon dioxide and water from atmosphere, copper carbonate (CuCO3) is formed; of course this compound is not soluble in all liquids, it is impossible.

Copper carbonate can be removed with dilute acetic acid (vinegar), but not with water.
