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.

What does an 8 x 10 x 16 concrete block weigh Is there a difference between a concrete block a concrete cinder block?
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.
What are the standard dimensions of typical concrete masonry units aka CMU's?

Are poured concrete walls better than concrete block walls?
It depends on the application. For homes, masonry is fine as long as it is insulated well against the weather. Masonry rarely needs maintenance. Concrete walls are stronger and last longer than masonry but are more costly to construct. For basement walls, I suggest that you always use concrete walls. Above ground level, masonry is cheaper and strong enough for residential and commercial, multi-story applications. For retaining walls, 8" thick masonry works well up to about 8 feet of retained earth. Above that, the lower courses of block will get thicker to 12". You still need concrete footings for block walls.

Rebar is used to?
Rebar is used to give strength to masonry and concrete constructions. Masonry is this case is concrete blocks. Concrete, block or cast in place, is good for compression forces and not tension. Steel is good in tension or tensile forces and not compression. By combining the constructive elements of concrete with steel, thus reinforced concrete, you get the strengths of both in one medium.
