A solution of sodium cyanide, NaCN, has a pH of 11.40. How many grams of NaCN are in 245 mL of a solution with the same pH?

Kb (CN) = 1.7 × 10–5

**Problem Statement:**
A solution of sodium cyanide, NaCN, has a pH of 11.40. How many grams of NaCN are in 245 mL of a solution with the same pH?

**Given:**
\[ K_b (\text{CN}^-) = 1.7 \times 10^{-5} \]

**Required:**
Calculate the mass (in grams) of NaCN present in the solution.

**Solution:**

\[ \text{mass} = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \text{g} \]
