Question

why can we drink hot tea faster from a cup saucer than from a cup

Answer 1

Hello

Here's the answer


______The rate of evaporation increases with an increase of surface area in the case of saucer as compared to the cup. so we are able to drink hot tea or milk faster from a saucer  rather than a cup .  

Hopefully it will satisfy you.

Answer 2

Answer:

• If the hot tea or milk is taken in a cup, then due to the narrow shape of the cup, the surface area of hot tea or milk in the cup is comparatively small.
• Because of small surface area, the evaporation of hot tea or milk taken in the cup is slow, cooling caused by evaporation is less, and hence the hot tea or milk remains appreciably hot for a much longer time, making it difficult to sip.
• On the other hand, saucer has a large surface area.
• Due to the large surface area of hot tea or milk taken in the saucer, the evaporation of hot tea or milk from the saucer is faster. T
• he faster evaporation cools the hot tea or milk much more quickly making it convenient to sip or drink.
