Chemistry molar concentration question!?

Suppose you dissolve 1.00g of calcium chloride in 500.0mL of water. You then take 5.00mL of that solution and dilute it to 25.0mL. What is the molar concentration of the final solution?

    (1.00 g CaCl2) / (110.984 g CaCl2/mol) / (0.5000 L) x (5.00 mL / 25.0 mL) =

    0.00360 mol/L

    Molar mass of CaCl2 is 111.0 g/mol

    1.00 g / 111.0 g/mol = 9.01X10^-3 mol

    Original solution molarity = 9.01X10^-3 mol / 0.5000 L = 0.0180 mol/L

    For the dilution:

    M1V1 = M2V2

    0.0180 mol/L (5.00 mL) = M2 (25.0 mL)

    M2 = 3.60X10^-3 M CaCl2
