Expert Solution
Step 1

Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Increase in concentration of methyl amine increases concentration of hydroxide ion.  Greater the concentration of hydroxide ion, smaller the pOH value of solution and higher the pH value of solution.

Decrease in concentration of methyl amine leads to less reaction with water.  Therefore, concentration of hydroxide ion also decreases.
