According to the reaction equation:
and by using ICE table:
CN- + H2O ↔ HCN + OH-
initial 0.08 0 0
change -X +X +X
Equ (0.08-X) X X
so from the equilibrium equation, we can get Ka expression
when Ka = [HCN] [OH-]/[CN-]
when Ka = Kw/Kb
= (1 x 10^-14) / (4.9 x 10^-10)
= 2 x 10^-5
So, by substitution:
2 x 10^-5 = X^2 / (0.08 - X)
X= 0.0013
∴ [OH] = X = 0.0013
∴ POH = -㏒[OH]
= -㏒0.0013
= 2.886
∴ PH = 14 - POH
= 14 - 2.886 = 11.11
There is 3 ways that an atom can be put together
Nuclear reactions are those that involve the nucleus of an atom. Nuclear fission involves the splitting of an atomic nucleus and the formation of two distinct atomic species. Nuclear fusion is indeed the combining of two atomic nuclei in order to form a single atomic species. Therefore the answer to the question is true.
