The final product formed when methylamine is treated with NaNO$$_2$$ and HCl followed by hydrolysis is:

$$NaNO_2 + HCl \rightarrow HNO_2 + NaCl$$

$$CH_3NH_2 + HNO_2 \xrightarrow{HCl} [CH_3-N \equiv N]^+ Cl^-$$

$$[CH_3-N_2]^+ Cl^- + H_2O \rightarrow CH_3OH + N_2 \uparrow + HCl$$

Main Product: Methyl alcohol (Methanol)

By-products: Nitrogen gas ($$N_2$$) and Hydrochloric acid ($$HCl$$)
