Answer:42.5 lbs. (19 kgs.)

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.
Concrete block is made from Portland Cement, water, sand and aggregate. The aggregate may be in the form of flyash or cinder from burnt coal.
