I need to make 10M ammonium acetate for DNA extraction. I calculated the amount required for 70 ml solution and started dissolving it using a magnetic stirrer. It has been four hours, but the solute hasn't dissolved yet. Is this normal? How long does it usually take to make 10M ammonium acetate solution?
The ammonium acetate I used to make solution was not powder per se, it was more like crystals. I cannot add more water to the solution. Is heating an option?
