The equilibrium constant ( K_b ) for the reaction of methylamine (CH₃NH₂) with water to form its conjugate acid (CH₃NH₃⁺) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻) can be expressed as:

[ K_b = \frac{[CH_3NH_3^+][OH^-]}{[CH_3NH_2]} ]

This reaction represents the base dissociation of methylamine in aqueous solution, where it acts as a weak base. The value of ( K_b ) can be determined experimentally or calculated using the relationship between ( K_w ), ( K_a ), and ( K_b ) if the ( K_a ) for its conjugate acid is known.
