To dilute a solution, you can use the formula $C_1V_1 = C_2V_2$, where $C_1$ and $V_1$ are the concentration and volume of the initial solution, and $C_2$ and $V_2$ are the concentration and volume of the final solution, respectively. Plugging in the given values: $6.0\, \text{M} \times V_1 = 0.50\, \text{M} \times 500\, \text{mL}$. Solving for $V_1$ gives $V_1 = \frac{0.50 \times 500}{6.0} = 41.67\, \text{mL}$, which rounds to 42 mL.
