Question

Assertion (A) :A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.

Reason (R) : A solution has a solvent and a solute as its components.​

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true. R is the correct reason for Assertion.

Explanation:

• A solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances in relative amounts.
• A solution is a mixture in which the particles of one or more substances (the solute) are distributed uniformly throughout another substance (the solvent) so that the mixture is homogeneous at the molecular or ionic level.
• Therefore, the dissolving medium is the solvent, and the solute is the material that is being dissolved.

Examples:

Salt or Sugar dissolved in water.

Here, water is the solvent, and salt or sugar is the solute material.
