Abstract :
The crystal structure of Na2CO3 was investigated by X-ray powder diffraction method. For this purpose the diffraction pattern of the sample, which is grinded in agate mortar, was saved in computer with Bruker Axs D8 Advence Model X-ray diffractometer, 40 kV and 40 mA work condition, using, λ = 1.5406 Å wavelength Cu radiation and 0.02o/s scanning speed. Some possible peaks which belong to the sample were determined by making corrections in the obtained diffraction pattern by using DIFFRAC PLUS EVA package programme and by making operations such as background, Kα2 and smoothing. In the crystal structure study done by the analytical method, the crystal structure monoclinic and unit cell parameters of Na2CO3 were found as a = 8.9224 Å, b = 5.2220 Å, c = 6.0493 Å and β = 101.28 °. We also controlled the correctness of process by using TREOR90, DICVOL91, ITO13 computer programmes, indexing and similar results were obtained. Unit cell parameters in the monoclinic system were obtained as [a = 8.903(1)Å, b = 5.238(1) Å, c = 6.0489(5) Å, β = 101.21(1) °], [a = 8.904(1) Å, b = 5.237(1) Å, c = 6.0491(8) Å, β = 101.23(1) °] and [a = 8.9050 Å, b = 5.2370 Å, c = 6.0470 Å, β =101.25°]. The obtained results were computer with the results of single crystal structure analysis. The results obtained with analytical method, computer programmes and single crystal analysis were observed to be harmonious with each order within the error limits.
