how many milliliters of 0.80M sulfuric acid are needed to make 50 mL of 0.080M sulfuric acid

Question

 This is for my chemistry lab and I'm having trouble understanding how to set this one up to find the answer.

Answer 1

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

 

C₁ = Initial concentration of solution (in mol / L)

V₁ = Initial volume of solution (in L)

C₂ = Final concentration of solution (in mol / L)

V₂ = Final volume of solution (in L)

 

C₁ = 0.80 M H₂SO₄

V₁ = ???

C₂ = 0.080M H₂SO₄

V₂ = 50 mL = 0.050 L

 

Rearrange the equation to solve for V₁.
