Answer: 250 ml of stock solution with molarity of 12.0 M is measured using a pipette and 250 ml of water is added to volumetric flask of 500 ml to make the final volume of 500 ml.
Explanation:
According to the dilution law,

where,
= concentration of stock solution = 12.0 M
= volume of stock solution = ?
= concentration of diluted solution= 6.00 M
= volume of diluted acid solution = 500 ml
Putting in the values we get:


Thus 250 ml of stock solution with molarity of 12.0 M is measured using a pipette and 250 ml of water is added to volumetric flask of 500 ml to make the final volume of 500 ml.
There is the same overall number of atoms of each element on the reactants side as on the products side, they are simply rearranged. Also, mass is conserved as atoms cannot be created or destroyed by a chemical reaction.
