I have 37% strength Hydrochloric acid and I dumped in my used filter paper in it to dissolve it (it is the type of filter paper that is normally used in buchner funnels) but it didn't dissolve it at all and it has been sitting in hydrochloric acid solution for a week now, what gives?
Are you sure the filter paper is supposed to dissolve in the acid?

Why are you trying to mix your paper with acid?
