NH3 + H+ --> NH4 + H2O

Perhaps its nitpicking, but charges are not balanced.

This way I will never know if what you write is wrong because you are making typos, or because you don't understand what you are doing. Hard to help in such situation.

NH3 + H2O --> NH4+ + OH-


NH3 + H+ --> NH4 + H2O

Just made a typo on the last rxn. It's NH4+ + H2O right?

Yes, and that's almost the same as the necessary reaction of amine.

How many moles of conjugated acid do you need in the final solution?

Would it be .328 M x .225 L= 0.0738 ?
