What batch of popcorn kernels would produce more popcorn a batch of kernels soaked in water or a somewhat dried out batch?

I wouldn't advise soaking your popcorn. Popcorn "pops" because 1) there's water INSIDE the kernel and 2) there's a hard shell to hold the water in. Together, these make it possible to build up STEAM inside the kernel until it bursts the shell, effectively turning the kernel inside-out, puffing it up in the process.

Why do popcorn kernels weigh more than popcorn?

Popcorn pops because the small amount of water in the kernel vaporizes as it heats up. The resulting popped corn weighs less than the original kernel because the weight of the water is no longer in it. Also, the resulting of the steam popping open the kernel the steam loosens and softens the dense carbohydrate part (the white fluffy part) of the corn kernel itself which decreases the density of the carbohydrate (white fluffy part), and less density decreases the weight. :)
