The beaker that will likely produce the biggest crystals is the one that is cooling slowly due to isolation.
Slow cooling allows for more time for the constituent molecules to arrange themselves into a well-defined crystal lattice structure, which typically results in the formation of larger crystals. In contrast, fast cooling (like with ice cubes) can trap molecules in a disordered state, leading to the formation of smaller, less organized crystals. Cooling naturally in air may produce crystals larger than those formed with rapid cooling but generally not as large as those formed under very controlled slow cooling conditions.
Therefore, the best option for crystal growth is the beaker that is slow cooling due to isolation.
