Detailed Solution

Consider initial and final solutions as per dilution law.

Assume concentration (M) and volume (V) for initial and final conditions as follows below.

              Initial                   Final

            M1=M              M2=M/2

               V1 =V             V2=?

From dilution method,

          M1V1=M2V2

   V2=M1V1M2=M×VM2=2V

Therefore, to decrease the molarity of the solution to one-half from initial ,

 Then the volume of solution must be doubled.
