Look at the picture of an experiment set up by Juanita and Ben.

They keep the limestone samples in the liquids overnight. The next morning, they put a strainer on top of each beaker and pour the liquid into a pan. Which statement best describes the results of the experiment?

• The strainer over the water would have more particles left in it than the strainer over the weak acid.
• The strainer over the weak acid would have more particles left in it than the strainer over the water.
• Both strainers would have about the same amount of particles in them.
• Both strainers would have no particles in them.
