Stomach acid, primarily composed of hydrochloric acid, is capable of breaking down organic materials, but it does not effectively dissolve cotton gauze. While the acid can degrade some components of the cotton fibers over time, it would not completely dissolve or disintegrate the gauze in a short period. The gauze would likely remain intact for an extended duration in the stomach. However, it could lead to potential digestive complications if ingested.
