I have lifting floor tiles from my kitchen floor and have discovered concrete like adhesive on the concrete floor. I want to take this off the floor, is there an easy way to do this?

There is a special scraper tool that you can buy (somewhere like Home Depot) that has a long handle that you use to remove the old mortar from where the tiles were. It looks like a giant chisel and the people in the flooring section will know what you're asking for.
As far as any solution to pour on it I'm afraid that there isn't any once the mortar is cured because it is no longer water soluable, nor will an oil base dissolve it either. Goo-Gone and other adhesive removers will not work as it is mortar that you have on the floor, not an adhesive.
If you don't want to buy the tool, a hammer and a chisel is the only other way, but I recommend the tool, as it is much faster and easier.

There is a couple of things that you can do but first you need to get those floor tiles off and you can do that by taking a putty knife and lifting them up. Once you have that done you can take a 5" scraper with sharp throw away blades and get most of that adhesive up then get Jasco adhesive removal or Sentinel 747 adhesive removal (both at Home Depot) follow the directions and the remainder of the adhesive will scrape right up.

There is a special product called goo gone (or goo be gone) its a small bottle of orange liquid its an oil - it seeps into the adhesive and after a short period of time you can scrap the adhesive off you can use baby oil to get the same results or in a pinch cooking oil works too (but being thicker the cooking oil takes longer to soak in)
Pour it on the adhesive leave it for 10-15 minutes and scrape off what you can repeat a few times to get everything when you only have a little adhesive left use a rag to wipe the area roughly then clean with dish soap to get rid of the oily residue.
Good luck

Any solvent you have should do it. If its like that used for tile and is very hard you may need to abrade it off. Acetone is the strongest solvent you want to work with, but be careful with it.
