The base conjugate acid pair when strong acid is added to methylamine CH3NH2 is

base CH3NH2; conjugate acid: CH3NH3 +

Explanation

When a base CH3CH2 accept proton it form its conjugate acid which known as methyl ammonium ion. Therefore conjugate acid of CH3CH2 is CH3NH3+ ion

For example when CH3CH2 react with HCl

CH3CH2 +HCl
CH3CH3+ + Cl-
