You are being asked to transform a word equation into a chemical equation. You do this for every problem you work in chemistry.
sulfur dioxide + water = sulfurous acid
SO2 + H2O ==> H2SO3

SO2 is the anhydride of sulfurous acid.

No. Barium is Ba. BaO is barium oxide.

Ba + H2O ==> Ba(OH)2 + H2. You balance.

I did not read carefully.
