Explanation:
Sodium hydroxide completely ionizes in water to produce sodium ions and hydroxide ions. Hydroxide ions are in excess and neutralize all acetic acid added by the following ionic equation:

The mixture would contain
if
undergoes no hydrolysis; the solution is of volume
after the mixing. The two species would thus be of concentration
and
, respectively.
Construct a RICE table for the hydrolysis of
under a basic aqueous environment (with a negligible hydronium concentration.)

The question supplied the <em>acid</em> dissociation constant
for acetic acid
; however, calculating the hydrolysis equilibrium taking place in this basic mixture requires the <em>base</em> dissociation constant
for its conjugate base,
. The following relationship relates the two quantities:

... where the water self-ionization constant

Answer:
I think that it it correctly balanced that is my opinion and, because the way it is set up, that the answer will tell you weather or not it is correctly balanced or not.
The balanced chemical reaction is:
N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3
We are given the amount of ammonia formed
from the reaction. This is where we start our calculations.
0.575 g NH3 (1 mol NH3 / 17.03 g NH3) (3 mol
H2 / 2 mol NH3) ( 2.02 g H2 / 1 mol H2) = 0.10 g H2
