Hi, I have the following problem:

Calculate the pH of a 0.200M Sodium Cyanide solution.

I'm confused because this salt has no H or O atoms in it. How could it affect the pH of a solution?
What formulas would I need to solve this? My final is tomorrow and I'm really worried. Thank you for any help.
