Imagine it like this, you have two glasses of water, labeled “speed” and “chemical.” You can only transfer water between glasses. And messily. It’s a sum of water, a specific weight of water between the two glasses that you own. In placing the water elsewhere, you haven’t done much besides lose a portion in the transfer. You can absolutely do what you’ve said! It will, unfortunately, just be a transfer from the speed to the chemical glass. You’d just lose a bit in the transfer.
