Calculate the ph of a 0.021 m nacn solution. [ka(hcn) = 4.9  10–10]

Answer is: pH of solution of sodium cyanide is 11.3.
Chemical reaction 1: NaCN(aq) → CN⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq).
Chemical reaction 2: CN⁻ + H₂O(l) ⇄ HCN(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
c(NaCN) = c(CN⁻) = 0.021 M.
Ka(HCN) =  4.9·10⁻¹⁰.
Kb(CN⁻) = 10⁻¹⁴ ÷ 4.9·10⁻¹⁰ = 2.04·10⁻⁵.
Kb = [HCN] · [OH⁻] / [CN⁻].
[HCN] · [OH⁻] = x.
[CN⁻] = 0.021 M - x..
2.04·10⁻⁵ = x² / (0.021 M - x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH⁻] = 0.00198 M.
pOH = -log(0.00198 M) = 2.70.
pH = 14 - 2.70 = 11.3.

i had this on my unit activity, i can you if you are a plato student. are you a plato student?

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
