Dropping a chunk of red hot copper in water will create a big hiss and the emission of steam from the container. The thermal energy of the copper will be transferred to the metal. The copper metal will cool rapidly and become brittle. If a copper wire is heated to a high temperature and quenched (cooled rapidly by immersion), it will harden and become less flexible than it was.

What happens when you heat anhydrous copper sulphate?
Copper sulfate is normally found in the form of blue crystals, copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate. When you heat copper sulfate pentahydrate it turns white as the water which is driven off by the heat. The white solid remaining is anhydrous copper sulfate. If you add water to the anhydrous copper sulfate an exothermic reaction occurs, you can feel the test-tube getting hot, as the blue copper sulfate pentahydrate is re-formed.
