How do you remove gorilla glue from ceramic tile?
if it is glazed ceramic tile - let it dry fully (I let mine dry for a few weeks) then CAREFULLY pop the glue off with a chisel. Hold the chisel so the flat end is up and the beveled end is on the tile and gently push the tip of the chisel into the (expanded) gorilla glue. hit the end of the chisel with the palm of your hand and the glue will pop off the ceramic.

Work your way around the first tile pegged for removal.2 Slip the blade of the putty knife under the ceramic tile after loosening the grout. Apply pressure to the handle of the putty knife and pop out the old ceramic tile.3 Chip the grout away from the tiles and pop the tiles out, using the putty knife, until you have removed all of the old tiles.4 Vacuum the area with a wet/dry vacuum to remove any residue.

How much does a 6 x 6 ceramic tile weigh?
Not sure how exact you neeed to be, but the thickness & the density would be unknowns from your question & they will both impact the answer. A 6X6 wall tile will be less than floor tile & thick tile likely more than thinner. But if you use 8-10 ounces per 6X6 floor tile you will be very close. Add thinset & grout & still more variables crop up. That is if it is really ceramic, travertine, porcelain or Saltillo would all be different too.
