You have 20% NaCl stock solution. You need to prepare 500 ml of a 0.5% NaCl solution? How many ml stock solution do you need to make this preparation? How much water will you add to the final product?
---------------------
N = amount of 20%
W = amount of water
----------
N + W = 500 (total solution)
20*N + 0*W= 500*0.5 (total salt)
20N = 250
N = 12.5 ml of 20%
487.5 ml of Water
