In a batch reactor, reactant A is steadily converted into product B. The initialconcentration of reactant A is 100 mg/L. During a 10-hour reaction course, it wasobserved that the concentration of A in the reactor decreased at a constant rate of 10mg/L per hour. Based on the result, you can determine that the transformation reactionA→B follows ( ) with respect to reactant A.
