Question

Identify a technique that would be best suited rapidly and absolutely determining the presence (or lack thereof) of a just synthesized, powdered product.

Answer 1

Powder X-ray Diffraction is best suited rapidly and absolutely determining the presence (or lack thereof) of a just synthesized, powdered product. Powder diffraction is simpler and comfortable than single crystal diffraction since it does not require individual crystals to be made as required for X-ray crystallographic method. Because most materials have unique diffraction patterns, products can be differentiated by using a database of diffraction patterns.
