Concrete is made of a mixture of cement, aggregate (small stones), fine aggregate (sand), water and other chemical additives. When mixed the wet concrete will remain so for
Most people assume that set concrete has no water in it, this is not so, as the water content helps bond the aggregates and cement, this process is known as Hydration. Concrete with no water in it would crumble to dust.
Adding more water to the mix will make a concrete that is easier to work, while less water will produce a stronger, more durable concrete.
After initial setting of the concrete, a slow amount of water loss is expected due to the concrete drying, it can take anything up to a year for water to stop evaporating slowly out of the concrete. So for this reason the answer to your question is yes, dry, set concrete will weigh less than wet concrete, but for anything up to a year it will keep getting lighter, due to waterloss.

Is wet concrete stronger than dry concrete?
no
Can you lay wet concrete on dry concrete?
This may be possible if you prep the dry concrete with a latex bonding agent.
Can you apply wet concrete to dry concrete?
Yes, you can. You should clean the dry concrete with water and a brush first, and you should use a bonding agent (available pretty much anywhere you buy concrete) for optimal adhesion. You may also wish to add reinforcement such as rebar.
Is unset concrete heaver than set concrete?
No, not relly. You might get a bit of water evaporation but generaly 1 cubic meter of concrete is about 2.2 tons, wet or dry. Regards Colin
What is heavier a concrete block or a brick?
Concrete block.
What is heavier a wet or dry baseball?

What weighs more wet sand or dry concrete?
dry concrete
Is wet concrete stronger than dry concrete?
no
Can you lay wet concrete on dry concrete?

Which has greater density wet or dry concrete?
Wet concrete has a higher density due to his content in water.
Is wet sugar heavier than dry sugar?
Wet sugar gets dissolved you tard!
Out of dry and wet air which is heavier?
Moist air weighs less than dry air at the same temperature. This is because the density of diatomic Oxygen and Nitrogen is greater than water vapor (H2O).
Why does a wet suger is lighter then dry suger?
Wet sugar has water in it, but dry sugar does not--and water is a very heavy substance, weighing 8 pounds per gallon. So with that additional weight, wet sugar is heavier than dry sugar.
Does 1 pound dry equal 16 ounces wet?
I think water is heavier.
What are the constituents of concrete?
Concrete is composed of water, cement and sand. It has three constituents. Concrete is mixed as a wet mixture, poured into place and allowed to harden and dry.
Can you apply wet concrete to dry concrete?
Yes, you can. You should clean the dry concrete with water and a brush first, and you should use a bonding agent (available pretty much anywhere you buy concrete) for optimal adhesion. You may also wish to add reinforcement such as rebar.
What is the difference of the weight of dry and fresh breadcrumbs?
Wet breadcrumbs are heavier due to the fact they have more mass; it absorbed the water.
