Yes it is. Once mixed it can never be altered or undone
Portland cement (and the concrete, mortar, thin set, or other masonry product made from it) doesn't dry. Rather, it cures by a chemical reaction initiated by putting water in it. The reaction is irreversible; hence, adding water to cement is an irreversible change.
Cement undergoes a chemical reaction called hydration when it is mixed with water, forming a hard and strong material. This reaction creates new compounds that cannot be reversed back into their original state through simple drying or evaporation. Once cement has fully cured, the bond created between the water and cement particles is permanent.
Mixing Alka-Seltzer and water is a reversible change because it can be undone by allowing the water to evaporate, leaving behind the original substances in their initial forms.
The water should be added last. All the aggregate materials and the cement should be thoroughly mixed before the water is added.
Take this as a note. A mixture is always a physical change, as you can simply evaporate the water and have Urea again. Chemical change always involves the changing of reaction properties amongst its reactants.

It is impossible to reverse.
Sugar and Salt
If you have added too much water to your mix just add more sand and cement ;but do this right away.
It is reversible. You can allow the water to evaporate, leaving the salt behind.

The water should be added last. All the aggregate materials and the cement should be thoroughly mixed before the water is added.
the strength of concrete is effected by water /cement ratio as the water/cement ratio increases the strength of the concrete decreases
