a simple double displacement reaction
[tex]Ba (NO_{3})_{2} + 2Na OH \rightarrow 2NaNO_{3} + Ba (OH)_{2}[/tex]
balance away!
p.s. dexter is right since Ba has 2 valences there will be 2 OH ions in barium hydroxide
[tex]Ba (NO_{3})_{2} + 2Na OH \rightarrow 2NaNO_{3} + Ba (OH)_{2}[/tex]
balance away!

The reaction provided is incorrect.
[tex]Ba\left(NO_{3}\right)_{2}+NaOH\rightarrow NaNO_{3}+Ba(OH)_{2}\downarrow[/tex]
Do you see the difference?
