Magnesium nitrate is used in fertilisers as a source of nitrogen.
(a)* A student plans to prepare 250.0cm3 of a 0.4000moldm–3 solution of magnesium nitrate, starting from magnesium nitrate crystals, Mg(NO3)2•6H2O.
Describe how the student would prepare the solution, giving full details of quantities, apparatus and method. [6 marks]

But as for what to do with the numbers. Basically, you want to find out what mass you're starting with. To do that you have a volume (250.0 cm3) and a concentration (0.4 moldm-3). The equation you should know is moles= conc. x volume. The volume needs to be in dm3 though so:
250/1000 x 0.4 = 0.1 mol.
Then you multiply the moles(0.1) by the Mr of the solid which should be 148.3. The final answer should be you need to start with 14.83g of solid Magnesium Nitrate.
Hope that helped any others who had this homework as well.
It took a bit to realise it for me as well lol.

I'll answer the part on the quantity, you should already have an understanding of the method, just don't forget to add the thing you're doing the method with. E.g. Step one would be to measure the solid accurately [with a mass balance].

So you need to add 25.6 g of the solid.
