There are several sizes, however the one most commonly referred to is the large, rectangular block with two holes - usually used for building foundations. This type of block measures 8" x 8" x 16" and weighs approximately 29 pounds.
8 by 8 by 16 inches is the nominal size, but 7 5/8 by 7 5/8 by 15 5/8 inches actual size. It's 3/8 of an inch smaller to all room for the mortar that goes between the blocks.

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.
