Copper and sulfuric acid react to react to form copper sulfate and water and sulfur dioxide

Yes, that is correct. The chemical equation for this reaction is:

Cu + H2SO4 -> CuSO4 + H2O + SO2

In this reaction, copper (Cu) reacts with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to form copper sulfate (CuSO4), water (H2O), and sulfur dioxide (SO2).
