The question is:
A side reaction that might occur during this reaction is the production of sulphur dioxide gas. Write an equation to represent the formation of this gas and also the reaction of this gas with water.

Oh god. I forgot to add that the reaction was between Copper and Sulfur.

What reaction are you talking about?
The main way to make SO2 is to burn S in excess O2. S + O2 -> SO2.
Dissolved SO2 in water does form a weak sulfurous acid, HSO2OH or H2SO3.

worked in a copper mine......so I know that SO2...when mixed with water...gives you H2SO4...sulphuric acid...
you should try breathing the stuff.......it burns something cronic
seeme the moisture in your nasal passages turns it to acid..
