What can you conclude about the relative concentrations of ch3nh2 and ch3nh3cl in this buffer? for ch3nh2, pkb = 3.36?

pOH = pKb + log [salt] / [base] ---> Basic Buffer
and pH = 14 - pOH

to predict the relative concentrations of the buffer components you need to know both pKb and pH...

While in this case only pKb is given and the pH of buffer is not given. So, nothing can be concluded about the relative concentrations of CH₃NH₂ and CH₃NH₃Cl
