Consider a microporous membrane that separates a solution on the left with concentration CL from a solutio n on the righ t at C_R. The permeability for the solute, p 0. If C_L C _R, the presence of pressure-driven flow from right to left should A) Increase the net flux of solute from left to right by solvent drag. B) Increase the net flux of solute from right to left by solvent drag. C) Decrease the net flux of solute from left to right by solvent drag. D) Decrease the net flux of solute from right to left by solvent drag. E) Not affect net flux of solute from left to right.
