So, Ba is divalent. This means that each Ba (OH) 2 requires two I in order to produce one BaI2 molecule.

The two hydrogens from the 2 HI molecules will combine with 2 OH of Ba (OH) 2 forming 2 water (H2O) molecules.

The equation which illustrates this reaction in as follows:

2 HI (aq) + Ba (OH) 2 (s) ... > BaI2 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)

where:

aq refers to aqueous state

s refers to solid state and

l refers to liquid state.
