Sorry about this but having problems with this type of problem... 

What is the molarity of an acetic acid solution prepared by diluting 200.0 ml of .500M HC2H3O2  to a tolal of 1.00L 

I just need help with the general set up if possible.   
thanks tom

Multiplying a volume by a molar concentration (M) you'll get the moles of that substance.

Then, moles/volume = concentration.

my suggestion would be the equation mv=mv where the initial molarity times the initial volume equals the final molarity times the final volume.  just solve for m by dividing the original mv by the second v and you have your answer.

and don't forget conversions, i.e. .2L not 200mL

should end up with .1M for answer
