Cement is just the powder used to make mortar and concrete. Mortar has sand in it.
it is typically 5 parts lime, 3 parts sand, 1 part cement, but varies depending on use and situation
Cement paste is formed when cement is mixed with water. However, cement mortar is formed when cement is mixed with fine aggregate (sand) and water.The strength of cement mortar is more when compared to cement paste.Shrinkage will be less in cement mortar and high in cement paste.
The sand give the cement in the mix something to hold on to. It gives the mortor strengh by connecting all the grains together. The cement to sand is pretty much the same principal as mortar to brick. Joining the pieces together to create a whole.

How do you calculate cement mortar in 230mm thick brick

Masonry cement is basically normal Portland cement with added ingredients to provide the plasticity required for masonry work. Masonry cements are pre-packaged primarily as either Type N Masonry Cement or Type S Masonry Cement. Other types are available for specific circumstances. Type N Masonry mortar is recommended for general use in building non-load bearing walls as well as for exterior veneer walls not requiring high strength. Type S Masonry mortar is recommended for use in all masonry below grade as well as in building exterior load bearing walls requiring high strength. DO NOT use masonry cement for concrete jobs

Used in masonry constructionPlastering of walls and ceilingsIn repair of structures.
Use for non-load application. Mix with sand to produce a mortar for bricks and blocks. Mix proportions by weight for TYPE N Mortar - 10 kg Masonry Cement - 35 kg Sand
I would use type S mortar for vertical applications and portland cement for horizontal work. Portland will work for either but it is rough on your skin and hands.
