It's 2-methylpropan-1-ol oxidized with potassium dichromate(VI) in aqueous sulphuric acid to yield 2-methylpropanoic acid (also known as isobutyric acid).
To determine the conjugate acid of CH3NH2 (methylamine), consider the acid-base reaction with water: CH3NH2 + H2O <> OH- + CH3NH3+. In the above reaction, methylamine accepts a proton from water and is thereby a Bronsted base. For the reverse reaction, the opposite is true, as CH3NH3+ donates a proton to hydroxide, classifying it as a Bronsted acid. Therefore, CH3NH3+ is the conjugate of methylamine.
