Powder Diffraction Method	bhupinder84	05/06/07
A cement compound CaO.Al2O3.10H2O gives certain peaks when using the powder diffraction method. The compound now increases its water of crystallization to become CaO.Al2O3.11H2O.Will the diffraction pattern obtained be basically the same as the former, with only a slight difference, which corresponds to a slight increase in the d spacing? Or will the diffraction pattern be an entirely different pattern?

Of course you should do your homework yourself. Just think : what is actually changing? Are there any new molecules added? If no : will there be any pattern change and why would that be? If yes : are these molecules already present in the mix or not? If no : will there be any pattern change and why would that be? If yes : will there be any pattern change and why would that be? :)
