In aqueous media, you can prepare a solution of copper(II) acetate, resulting the latter in a greenish coloration.
I UNDERSTOOD NOT IF YOU MEANT hydrogen sulphide OR sulphurous acid.
The former is a stinky and poisonous gas ; when you blow some bubbles of it in the green media, you could see blackish powder, e.g. copper sulphide, as follows :
(CH3COO)2Cu(aq) + H2S(g) ---> CuS(s) + 2 CH3COOH(aq)
The second one is a few stable compounds. Nonetheless it is a reducing agent, it cannot react directly with copper ions.
On the other hand, aerated solutions permit the following reaction :
O2(g) + 2 H2SO3(aq) ---> 2 H2SO4(aq)
which is promoted by copper ions as catalyst.

I hope this helps you.

Now if you mean hydrogen sulphide, then we have:

Cu2+ + H2S ---> CuS + 2H+

A very well-known reaction.

No, because the compounds do not react in water.
