Question

What volume of a 0.50 m mgso4 solution will be needed to prepare 100.0 ml of a 0.20 m mgso4 solution?

Answer 1

The formula is given by Molarity of mgso4 required for the titration * Volume of mgso4 for the titration = Molarity of mgso4 used to make the solution * Volume of mgso4 used to make the solution. 
So we have 0.5 * Volume of mgso4 = 100 * 0.2 
So Volume of mgso4 = (100 * 0.2)/ 0.5 
Volume = 20/0.5 = 40ml = 40 * 10^(-3)
