The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Portland Cement Composition**: - Portland cement is primarily composed of calcium silicates and aluminates. 2. **Identifying Major Components**: - The main components of Portland cement include: - **Dicalcium Silicate (Ca2SiO4)**: Approximately 26% of the composition. - **Tricalcium Silicate (Ca3SiO5)**: Approximately 51% of the composition. - **Tricalcium Aluminate (Ca3Al2O6)**: Approximately 11% of the composition. - Together, these three components account for about 88% of Portland cement. 3. **Listing Other Minor Components**: - The remaining composition of Portland cement includes: - Iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) - Calcium oxide (CaO) - Magnesium oxide (MgO) - Other oxides like Al2O3, SiO2, and SO3 make up the remaining 12%. 4. **Identifying the Excluded Component**: - Among the listed components, **Calcium Phosphate** is not a part of Portland cement's composition. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the answer to the question "Portland cement does not contain" is **Calcium Phosphate**.
