My word....

Explanation:

In aqueous solution, methylamine undergoes the equilibrium...

Me_2NH(aq) + H_2O(l) rightleftharpoons Me_2NH_2^+ + HO^-Me2NH(aq)+H2O(l)Me2NH+2+HO

You will have to look up the equilibrium constant in your text. When someone opens a can of methylamine in the lab, everybody knows it because it has a very fishy, and ammoniacal odour that will bring the neighbours screaming....
