Answer:
Ba(OH)₂ + 2 HBr ⇒ BaBr₂ + 2 H₂O
Explanation:
We have the products of a reaction and we have to predict the reactants. Since the products are binary salt and water, this must be a neutralization reaction. In neutralizations, acids react with bases. The acid that gives place to Br⁻ is HBr, while the base the gives place to Ba²⁺ is Ba(OH)₂. The balanced chemical equation is:
Ba(OH)₂ + 2 HBr ⇒ BaBr₂ + 2 H₂O
Higher temperature = higher energy. In water it is a liquid as the particles have more energy so vibrate and are further away from each other.

In exothermic reactions, there is a release heat and the replacement of weak bonds with stronger ones.
