Half-time of a reaction \mathrm{t_1/_2= [Ao]^{1-n }}  where Ao is initial concentration of reactant and n is order of reaction with respect to that reactant.

Since, the time for half reaction gets halved on doubling the initial concentration of the reactants, half-time is inversely proportional to intial concentration.

\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 1-n=-1 \\ & \Rightarrow n=2 \end{aligned}
