Question

why do we prefer to sip hot tea with a saucer rather than a cup?

Answer 1

Hi

We prefer to sip hot tea with saucer rather than a cup because the tea in a saucer cools down faster than the tea in a cup and when the surface area is increased the rate of evaporation is also increased.

hope it helps.

Answer 2

Hey friend!
____________

Here is your answer
___________________

When the surface area is increased, the rate of evaporation increases. The saucer has more surface area than that of the cup. Evaporation produces a cooling effect near it's surroundings, thus hot tea is preferred in a saucer rather than a cup.
