Assertion (A) In osmosis, solvent molecules pass through a semipermeable membrane from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated one, when these two are separated by the semi-permeable membrane.
Reason (R) The vapour pressure of the solvent over the dilute solution is less than that over the concentrated solution.
