Well, the new concentration is 0.01*mol*L^-1, i.e. you have diluted the original concentration tenfold....

Explanation:

And we use the relationship...

"Molarity"="Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"

=(5xx10^-3*Lxx0.1*mol*L^-1)/(50xx10^-3*L)=0.01*mol*L^-1....

How did I know that the volume was 50*mL..
