Which of the following four Bogue's Compounds has the maximum percentage by volume in the hydration of cement?
Alite C3S
This refers to the total volume of hydration products generated relative to the volume of the unhydrated compound. Therefore, Alite (C_3S) is the Bogue's compound that has the maximum percentage by volume in the hydration of cement due to its high proportion in cement and the volume expansion during its hydration. Therefore, the correct answer is Alite C 3 S.
