Does salt dissolve is a big cup of tea quicker than small tea?

This is a tricky question! It's not quite about the size of the cup, but rather the concentration of the tea. Here's why:

* Salt dissolves in water, not tea: Salt's dissolving speed is primarily determined by how much water it's in contact with.

* Tea concentration matters: A stronger tea (more tea leaves per volume of water) has less free water available to dissolve the salt. This means the salt might take longer to dissolve in a strong tea.

So, here's how to break it down:

* Same amount of tea, different cup size: If you use the same amount of tea leaves to make both a big cup and a small cup, the salt would dissolve at roughly the same rate in both. The cup size doesn't change the concentration of the tea.

* Same cup size, different tea concentration: If you make a strong tea in a small cup and a weak tea in a big cup, the salt might dissolve faster in the weak tea because there's more free water available.

In short: It's not the size of the cup that matters, but rather the strength of the tea (its concentration).
