Methylamine, $\text{CH}_3\text{NH}_2$, shows chemical behaviour similar to that of ammonia, $\text{NH}_3$. When methylamine reacts with hydrogen chloride, it produces a white crystalline salt called methylammonium chloride. $\text{CH}_3\text{NH}_2 + \text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{NH}_3^+\text{Cl}^-$ A sample of methylammonium chloride is warmed with aqueous sodium hydroxide. What products are formed?
- Aammonia, sodium chloride and water
- Bammonia, sodium hydrogencarbonate and sodium chloride
- Cmethylamine, hydrogen chloride and water
- Dmethylamine, sodium chloride and water
