The protons of methylene group between the two carbonyl groups in ethylacetoacetate are acidic in nature. When compounds containing such acidic protons are treated with bases the loose proton and form enolates.
In this particular example when ethylacetoacetate is reacted with methyl magnesium bromide, the methyl group abstracts the acidic proton and converts into
methane gas. The enolate when hydrolyzed is again converted into ethylacetoacetate as shown below,
I think it is C. coefficients but I don't know what subscripts are

Explanation:
Initial concentration of weak acid =
pH = 6.87
![pH = -log[H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%20%3D%20-log%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
![[H^+]=10^{-pH}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D10%5E%7B-pH%7D)
![[H^+]=10^{-6.87}=1.35 \times 10^{-7}\ M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D10%5E%7B-6.87%7D%3D1.35%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-7%7D%5C%20M)
HA dissociated as:

(0.00045 - x) x x
[HA] at equilibrium = (0.00045 - x) M
x = 
![Ka = \frac{[H^+][A^{-}]}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ka%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%2B%5D%5BA%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)

0.000000135 <<< 0.00045

Low electron affinity and large atomic radius
Metallic character decreases across a period (from left to right) and increases down a group.
Electron affinity increases from left to right within a period. This is caused by the decrease in atomic radius. Electron affinity decreases from top to bottom within a group. This is caused by the increase in atomic radius.
