Q: Di-calcium silicate (C₂S)
  • A. hydrates rapidly
  • B. generates less heat of hydration
  • C. hardens rapidly
  • D. provides less ultimate strength to cement
Correct Answer: Option B - Dicalcium Silicate (C₂S) provides the progressive strength to the cement. Dicalcium Silicate (C₂S) has minimum heat of hydration as compare to other Bogue's compounds.
