Because the rate of evaporation depends upon the surface area exposed to the atmosphere. The surface area of a saucer is greater than that of a cup which makes it easier for tea to evaporate rapidly which thereby makes the tea cool.

Why are you able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a sauser rather than a cup?

The (rather disgusting, uncouth and common) idea of transferring tea to a saucer before drinking it (noisily), is to cool it down faster, because of the larger surface area provided. The relatively thin layer of tea, also aids conduction through the saucer, cooling it even faster. It's a matter of temperature, more than viscosity or speed.


What freezes faster milk or vinegar?

Milk freezes faster than vinegar because milk is mostly water, which freezes at a higher temperature compared to vinegar. The water content in milk allows it to freeze more quickly than the acidic vinegar.


Sugar dissolve faster in hot milk as compared to cold milk why?

Sugar dissolves faster in hot milk because the heat increases the kinetic energy of the sugar molecules, causing them to move faster and come into contact with the milk molecules more frequently, leading to a faster dissolution process. The higher temperature also reduces the solubility of sugar, helping it mix and dissolve more easily in the liquid.


Why does milk freeze faster than whine?

In a nut shell, because heat transfers faster from hotter to colder, like how a car will roll down a steep hill faster that it will roll down a hill that is less steep.


Why Milk souring is a physical change?

When milk sours, it undergoes a chemical change rather than a physical change. The bacteria in the milk ferment the lactose sugar into lactic acid, changing the chemical composition of the milk. This process cannot be reversed by physical means, distinguishing it as a chemical change.

Why you are able to sip hot tea or milk from a saucer rather than a cup?

this is because the surface area is larger because of which evaporation takes place faster and the milk is cooled faster


Why you are able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup?

Sipping hot tea or milk from a saucer allows for a larger surface area, which helps the liquid cool faster. The wider space also allows for more controlled sips, preventing spills. Additionally, the lower height of the saucer compared to a cup makes it easier for the liquid to reach your mouth quickly.

Why will milk in a saucer cool faster than milk in a glass?

Cooling due to simple evaporation at a surface is clearly simpler when the surface is large, such as the saucer. The cooling is due to the molecules that have more energy breaking free of the surface. Hence the average temperature of the remainder lowers.


How can you use saucer in a sentence?

You should place a saucer under the cup to catch any spills. The term 'flying saucer' comes from the plate-like appearance of some UFOs. The cat is happy to get a saucer of milk in the morning. Seldom, people claim to see a flying saucer.
