Question

I) Diamond crystallises in a face-centred cubic structure with a = 3.5625 Å. Calculate the d-spacing and peak position of the first allowed peak (i.e. the peak with the lowest hkl value that meets the selection rules) using a wavelength of 0.71073 Å. 

II) A solvothermal synthesis gave rise to a mixture of two crystalline phases: one phase consists of 50-65 μm octahedral crystallites while the other phase consists of 150-180 μm hexagonal plates. Identify a separation technique that would likely be effective in separating these materials.
