Answer : C) 1 & 2 only

Explanation :

CH3NH2Â Â Â +Â Â H2OÂ Â Â ------------->Â Â CH3NH3+ +Â Â OH-

Â Â 1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0

1 - xÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â xÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â x

Kb = x^2 / 1 - x

5 x 10^-4 = x^2 / 1 - x

x = 0.0223

[OH-] = [CH3NH3+] = 0.0223 M

[OH-] / [CH3NH3+] = 1

% ionization = 2.23 %

pH = 12.35

if concentration is = 1/2 M

CH3NH2Â Â Â +Â Â H2OÂ Â Â ------------->Â Â CH3NH3+ +Â Â OH-

Â Â 0.5 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0

Kb = x^2 / 0.5 - x

5 x 10^-4 = x^2 / 0.5 - x

x = 0.0158

[OH-] = [CH3NH3+] = 0.0158 M

[OH-] / [CH3NH3+] = 1

% ionization = 3.16

pH = 12.20

here

[OH-] / [CH3NH3+] is constant

pH decreases.
