The compound chiefly responsible for the early strength of cement is
Answer: B
Correct answer: tricalcium silicate
Tricalcium silicate hydrates quickly and is responsible for most of the strength developed in the first week or so. Dicalcium silicate hydrates far more slowly and contributes the later strength, so the two together give a cement that gains strength quickly at first and continues to gain it for months. Adjusting their ratio is how rapid-hardening and low-heat cements are made.
