Concentrated nitric acid is 16M. What volume of nitric acid must be diluted with distilled water to prepare 5L of 0.1M nitric acid?

mL x M = mL x M
Can you show me how to work this out. Or give me an example. Please and Thanks
It's just plug and chug.
mL x M = mL x M
mL x 16M = 5,000 mL x 0.1 M
Solve for mL HNO3.
.031
M1V1=M2V2
0.1*5L=16*V2
V2=0.0321 L Dissolve in 5 L of distilled water
