Given:

c1=0.0825 M

c2=0.7280 M

c3=0.1 M

V3 = 1 dm3

Setting up the equation:

c1V1+c2V2 = c3V3

now you work a little magic:

V1+V2=V3

Solving for V1

V1 = V3 - V2

substitute V1 in first equation:

c1 (V3-V2) + c2V2=c3V3

Solving:

c1V3-c1V2 + c2V2=c3V3

Rearranging the values:

c1V3-c3V3=c1V2-c2V2

V3 (c1-c3) = V2 (c1-c2)

So,

V2 = V3 (c1-c3) / c1-c2

Substituting known values:

V2 = 1 dm3 * (0.0825-0.1) / 0.0825 - 0.7280

and you get:

V2 = 0.027 dm3

Hence,

V1 = V3-V2 V1

= 0.973 dm2
