Methylamines equations


I want to combine the following 3 equations for the production of MMA, DMA & TMA into 1 equation in order to begin a mass balance of some sort:

MMA: CH3OH + NH3 <-> CH3NH2 +H2O
DMA: CH3OH + CH3NH2 <-> (CH3)2NH + H2O
TMA: CH3OH + (CH3)2NH2 <-> (CH3)3NH + H2O

Also there are 3 side reactions, I was wondering whether they should be incorporated into the 1 equation for the mass balance. They are as follows:

1) 2CH3NH2 <-> (CH3)2NH + NH3
2) 2(CH3)2NH+ NH3 <-> CH3NH2 + (CH3)3N
3) 2(CH3)3N + NH3 <-> CH3NH2 + (CH3)2NH

Hmm, I don't know about the side equations. Do you know stoichiometry, mols and predicted yields



Basket of kittens for you ........BOOM
