Answer: Add 150 ml of water to 100 ml of 2.5 M stock solution.
Explanation: According to the neutralization law,

where,
= molarity of stock solution = 2.5 M
= volume of stock solution = ?
= molarity of desired solution = 1.0 M
= volume of desired solution = 250 ml
Now put all the given values in the above law, we get the volume of stock solution.


Therefore, 100 ml of 2.5 M of stock solution is taken and 150 ml of water is added to make the volume to 250 ml.
