Base your answer to this question on the information about a laboratory procedure, diagram, and data table below. Hot water at 90°C is poured into cup A. Cool water at 20°C is poured into cup B. Styrofoam covers are placed on the cups. An aluminum bar and a thermometer are placed through holes in each cover. Points X and Y are locations on the aluminum bar. The data table shows temperature readings taken every minute for 20 minutes.
Which change in the experiment would increase the heating rate of the water in cup B (Standard 2.2b)?
