Methylamine (ch3nh2) is a weakly basic compound. calculate the kb for methylamine if a 0.253 m solution is 4.07% ionized.

Answer is: Kb for methylamine is 4.37·10⁻⁴.
Chemical reaction: CH₃NH₂ + H₂O → CH₃NH₃⁺ + OH⁻.
c(CH₃NH₂) = 0.253 M.
α = 4.07% ÷ 100% = 0.0407.
[CH₃NH₃⁺] = [OH⁻] = c(CH₃NH₂) · α.
[CH₃NH₃⁺] = [OH⁻] = 0.253 M · 0.0407.
[CH₃NH₃⁺] = [OH⁻] = 0.0103 M.
[CH₃NH₂] = 0.253 M - 0.0103 M.
[CH₃NH₂] = 0.2427 M.
Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺] · [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂]. 
Kb = (0.0103 M)² / 0.2427 M.
Kb = 4.37·10⁻⁴.
