Question

Arrange the bogue compounds in ordinary portland cement (OPC) in increasing order ( least to maximum)

of their heat of hydration.

1. Tricalcium aluminate (C3A)

2. Tricalcium silicate (C3S)

3. Dicalcium silicate (C2S)

4. Tetra calcium alumino ferrite (C4AF)
A.
3, 4, 2, 1
B.
2, 4, 3, 1
C.
4, 3, 2, 1
D.
1, 4, 2, 3
Answer ( Option A)

3, 4, 2, 1

Solution

Approximate heat of hydration values are:

• C2S ≈ 260 J/g — Lowest

• C4AF ≈ 420 J/g

• C3S ≈ 500 J/g

• C3A ≈ 865 J/g — Highest

Therefore, increasing order of heat of hydration is:

C2S < C4AF < C3S < C3A
