Assertion : When a solution is separated from the pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane, the solvent molecules pass through it from pure solvent side to the solution side.Reason : Diffusion of colvent occurs from a region of high concentration solution to a region of low concentration solution.

1.	Assertion : When a solution is separated from the pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane, the solvent molecules pass through it from pure solvent side to the solution side.Reason : Diffusion of colvent occurs from a region of high concentration solution to a region of low concentration solution.
Answer» Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement. Assertion and reason both are incorrect statements. Solution :Explantion : Assertion is correct statement but reason is a wrong statement because a semipermeable MEMBRANE permits SOLVENT molecules to pass through a solution of LOWER concentration to that of higher concentration FLOW of solvent molecule from solvent side to solution side through semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.
