Half-life of a zero order reaction is directly proportional to the initial concentration.

For a zero order reaction, the integrated rate law is [A]=[A]0−kt[A] = [A]_0 - kt. At t=t1/2t = t_{1/2}, [A]=[A]0/2[A] = [A]_0/2:

[A]02=[A]0−kt1/2  ⟹  kt1/2=[A]02  ⟹  t1/2=[A]02k\frac{[A]_0}{2} = [A]_0 - kt_{1/2} \implies kt_{1/2} = \frac{[A]_0}{2} \implies t_{1/2} = \frac{[A]_0}{2k} …
