$A \rightarrow B$ is a first order reaction. The concentration of $A$ is decreased from $x \ mol \ L^{-1}$ to $y \ mol \ L^{-1}$ in $100 \ \min$. What is the average velocity of the reaction in $mol \ L^{-1} \ \min^{-1}$?

  • A
    $\frac{|x-y|}{100}$
  • B
    $\frac{|y-x|^2}{100}$
  • C
    $\frac{100}{|x-y|}$
  • D
    $\frac{100}{|x+y|}$
