It weighs 59 lbs. There is a difference between a "real" cinder block and a concrete block. A cinder block uses cinders--ash from the burning of coal--as its aggregate. Concrete blocks are made from concrete. Concrete block is far stronger than is cinder block, and some jurisdictions prohibit the use of cinder block. The only justification for cinder block is that it weighs less than concrete block, which is important if the ground you're building on isn't strong enough to support a heavy structure. This justification has gone away, because now you can buy concrete block made from expanded-shale aggregate that's as light as cinder block and as strong as standard-weight concrete masonry.
Wet concrete weighs about 4,000 per cubic yard. Some types of concrete weigh more or less. Lightweight concrete weighs about 1,000 pounds less.

The dry weight of a medium density concrete block (215 x 450 x 100mm thick) is approximately 7.5Kg --- There are many different sizes, shapes and mixes used to make concrete block. Additionally the weight varies if the unit is wet or not since they absorb water. I see varying weights of 35 to 55 pounds for 8x8x16 block.
Basic concrete block it 8x8x16 inches.
There are 10 concrete block per m2.

Wet concrete has a higher density due to his content in water.

A concrete block is made from concrete, a brick block is made from brick. They are two different building materials. Both have their respective advantages and disadvantages.
4x8x16, solid light weight (you can find at Lowe's and HD) - 27 lbs when dry, 28 lbs when wet
A concrete block is normally 8 inches high so that an 18 concrete block wall is 12 feet high.
