So today, I've decided to dissolve some cotton balls in something called Schweizer's reagent. I need to mix concentrated ammonia with copper hydroxide. The solution can dissolve cotton, but it's kind of slow, and it's not like adding sugar to water. For everything to disappear, I just need to mix it for a few minutes. I can gel the cotton back, and to do this, I just have to pour it into some dilute acid.
