For a zero order reaction,

t½ is given by Ao/2K where Ao is initial concentration.

For a zero order reaction, concentration of reactant at any given time t,

A = Ao -Kt     where Ao is initial concentration and t is time elapsed

It decreases linearly with time.

For completion, A is taken as zero

\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 0=\mathrm{Ao}-\mathrm{Kt} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{t}=\mathrm{Ao} / \mathrm{K} \end{aligned}

Hence, time taken for completion of reaction is twice its t½.
