Edexcel ial chemistry - unit 04 - may/june 2019

I need help with this question(picture of question is in attachment). My answer seems to be wrong.
Please guide me on this question.

n(NaOH) = 0.045 mol
n(HCl) = 5 x 10^-3 mol
n(CH3COOH) = 0.04 mol

CH3COOH + C2H5OH <-> CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
I 0.12, 0.22, 0, 0.278
E 0.04, 0.14, 0.08, 0.358
Kc = 5.1

Why did the number of moles of products increase by 0.08 mol? Could you explain it?
Was it because that n(CH3COOH)=n(NaOH)-n(HCl) ?

0.08 mol CH3COOH reacted
from stoichiometry
1:1 ratio so 0.08 mol of each product is formed

Yeah, now I understood it

NH3 weak base
NaOH strong base
so NaOH more alkaline
So shld we memorize which substances are more acidic and basic?
