Why do the tea particles spread out quicker in hot water then cold water?
This can be explained using particle theory.
The hotter the water is, the more energy the water has. The more energy the water has, the more its particles will move. Therefore, the the hotter water is, the more its particles move.
Because the particles move more and faster, they 'bump into' more tea particles, which causes the tea particles to move more.
The more the tea particles move, the quicker they will spread through the water and the quicker they can diffuse.
