help me please!! i don't get it
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.
oh so for barium + water the chemical equation is BaO + H2O but how do i figure out the rest?
Google it
eg

No. Barium is Ba. BaO is barium oxide.

Ba + H2O ==> Ba(OH)2 + H2. You balance.
I did not read carefully.
its actually my fault sorry :$ , i wrote the question wrong its barium oxide + water so would it be BaO + H2O --> Ba(OH)2 ??
yes 1 Ba , 2 H , 2 O
I agree with both of you.
