Copper Sulfate can dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent. A polar solvent is one where the molecules that make up the solvent have a charge that is unequally distributed in the molecule. In the case of water the oxygen atoms have a partial negative charge and the hydrogen atoms have a partial positive charge.
