An Insight into the Chemistry of Cement—A Review
Even if cement is a well-consolidated material, the chemistry of cement (and the chemistry inside cement) remains very complex and still non-obvious. What is sure is that the hydration mechanism plays a pivotal role in the development of cements with specific final chemical compositions, mechanical properties, and porosities. This …

Water-Cement Ratio and Concrete Strength: Formula
The practical best water-cement ratio is from about 0.40 to over 0.60. A ratio of 0.3 is made concrete too stiff (unless superplasticizers are used). A ratio of 0.8 makes concrete wet and fairly weak concrete. Normal compressive strengths when concrete is properly cured are: 0.4 w/c ratio –> 5600 psi. 0.8 w/c ratio –> 2000 psi.

Basic chemistry
The weight (relative atomic mass) of sodium is 23 and of chlorine is 35.5. If we add these together we get the formula weight of a sodium chloride molecule: 23+35.5=58.5. So, the proportion of sodium in sodium chloride is: 23/58.5 x = 39.3% by mass. The proportion of chlorine in sodium chloride is: 35.5/58.5 x = 60.7% by mass.
