Describe how {eq}500\ ml {/eq} of {eq}0.1\ M {/eq} solution of {eq}\rm NaOH {/eq} can be prepared from {eq}\rm 2.0\ M\ NaOH {/eq}?

Question:

Dilution:

In chemistry applications, test solutions are usually prepared from stock or more concentrated solutions. Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of a solution by adding an appropriate amount of solvent. The dilution equation, {eq}C_1 \times V_1 = C_2 \times V_2{/eq}, is used to calculate for the amount ({eq}V_1{/eq}) of the stock solution ({eq}C_1{/eq}) to be diluted, in order to prepare a less concentrated solution ({eq}C_2{/eq}) with volume {eq}V_2{/eq}.
