The chemical reaction which takes place between cement and water is known as hydration of cement. This reaction is exothermic in nature, which means heat is released during the reaction, and the evolved heat is called as heat of hydration. Typically, cement produces 89-90cal/gm of heat in 7 days and 90-100cal/gm in 28 days.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a by-product of a chemical conversion process used in the production of clinker, a component of cement, in which limestone (CaCO3) is converted to lime (CaO). CO2 is also emitted during cement production by fossil fuel combustion and is accounted for elsewhere. However, the CO2 from fossil fuels is accounted for ...

Hydration products. The products of the reaction between cement and water are termed "hydration products."
