I already answered your previous question :-)
BTW, it is balanced because the number of atoms of each element is equla on both sides.

1) Is the equation balanced? On the left side you have 1 Ba, 8 O, 4 H and 2 N. On the right side you have 1 Ba, 2 N, 8 O and 4 H. There is an equa number of each element on eah side of the equation, so yes, it is balanced.
2) Which substance is an acid? HNO3, of course. Nitric acid is one of the strong acids we had to learn in chemistry class. It's also the only species with a H attached that isn't part of an OH group.
3) Why are all these substances considered inorganic? Because none of them contain carbon. Not everything containing carbon is organic--diamond, for instance, is inorganic--but if there's no carbon, you don't even have to go any farther. It's inorganic.
4) Which substance is the salt? Ba(NO3)2. This is an acid-base reaction. We've already established that the HNO3 is an acid, and it must react with a base, which must be Ba(OH)2 This also makes sense since many bases work by donating OH groups, which Ba(OH)2 has. Acids and bases react to produce salts and water. Since the only product other than water is Ba(NO3)2, it must be the salt.

Is it balanced? Do you have the same numbers of the same atoms on both sides of the arrow? If you do, then it is balanced.
What is an acid? An acid is a substance that produces H+ ions (really, H3O+ ions) when it combines with water. Or, an acid is a compound that can transfer an H+ to something else. Of the two compounds on the left side of the reaction, nitric acid (HNO3) is the acid, and barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) is the base.
What makes something an organic compound? Organic compounds are composed of carbon atoms but is not something like carbonate ions. So, since there is no carbon in any of these compounds, they are all inorganic.
The salt is the product of an acid and a base. Basically, it is what is left behind (other than water) when the two react. So, your Ba(NO3)2 is the salt.

Ba(OH)2 + 2 HNO3--> Ba(NO3)2 + 2 H2O looks perfect.
Left and right you see
1 Ba, 8 O and 4 H.
HNO3 is an acid
Those 4 substances have no carbon atom
Ba(NO3)2 is the salt.

a) It is a balanced equation
b) HNO3 is Nitric Acid
c) Carbon compounds are classified as organic chemicals and others like these are called inorganic substances.
d)The neutral product which comes out of a reaction between and acid and base or alkali is a salt. Here, BaNO3 (Barium Nitrate) is the salt.

yes, it's balanced
HNO3 is the acid , nitric acid.
it's organic if it's consist of C, O, H
Ba(NO3)2 is the salt
