MV = MV
5M * V = 100ml * 0.5M
V = 100ml * 0.5M/5M = 10ml

10ml 5.000 M NaOH solution + 90ml H2O.

Explanation:
5.000 divided by 0.5000 = 10.
So you want it 1/10 of the strength it is now.
Thus, stick 1/10 of the final volume with 9/10 of the final volume.
You now have gone from a 5 M solution to a 0.5 M solution.

The question says that you need to prepare 100 ml of a 0.5 M solution of NaOH. 0.5 M solution means that 1 Litre
i.e. 1000 mL of solution has 0.5 moles of NaOH. So, by unitary method the number of moles of NaOH needed = (0.5 * 100)/1000
= 0.05 moles. NOW
You are given a 5 M solution, which means 1000 mL of the solution has 5 moles of NaOH. So, by unitary method, the volume of NaOH required to give
0.05 moles = (0.05 * 1000)/5
= 10 mL. Good Luck.....
