What did northern states compromise when southern delegates finally consented to some commercial regulations?
One of the compromises that came about between the North and the South was the right for States to regulate slave trade for another 20 years, after which, the Government would take over. There was also a compromise that allowed southern states the right to count slaves as 3/5s of a person, whereas initially the North did not want slaves to be counted at all. This is how the representative numbers were chosen for the House, which led to the South agreeing to commercial regulations proposed by the North.

What two states were admitted to the union as part of the Missouri compermize?
They were admitted as part of the "Missouri Compromise". Missouri wanted to be a state, but Missouri allowed slavery. Allowing another slave state into the Union would've tipped the delicate balance in Congress in favor of the slave states. So Maine, which was part of Massachusetts at the time, was separated off and made into a new Free State (that is, a non-slavery state) to balance against Missouri, which was allowed to finally become a state.
Did The Missouri Compromise allow two new states into the union both were slave states which maintained the balance of power in the congress?
The phrasing of your question is a bit odd, but I interpret it as "Did the MO compromise allow 2 slave states into the Union?" If that was what you meant, the answer is no. The MO Compromise was made to keep the number senators from free and slave states equal. When it was made, the number was equal, so every slave state had to be admitted in a pair with a free state (and the other way around)(an example is the first pair that the compromise was used for: Maine was split from Massachusetts and admitted as a free state, and Missouri as shortly after admitted as a slave state; every state admitted between 1820 and 1850, when California was admitted alone as a free state (with a pro-slavery senator)). 2 slave states were never admitted at the same time, lest the compromise be broken. The MO Compromise was replaced with another deal in 1850.

What are the cons of the Missouri compromise?
Good question! The North benefited from the Missouri Compromise, because they received another state in the North (Maine) that did not allow slavery (because the North didn't like slavery.) The South benefited from the Missouri Compromise, because they received another southern state (Missouri) that was capable of having slaves. This way, both the North and the South had an equal amount of 12 Northern states and 12 Southern states.

When Missouri requested statehood its admission presented a problem because people in the state wanted or did what?
The biggest problem was that Missouri wanted to be admitted as a slave state, upsetting the "balance of power" between free and slave states. The Missouri Compromise admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state to maintain the balance, and also specified that no new slave states would be admitted north of the southern border of (most of) Missouri ... the southeastern corner of Missouri dips down into the "slave state" region. As you might expect if you knew anything about the politics of the time, this new rule lasted almost long enough for the ink to dry before people started contesting it.

What is the Difference between Missouri compromise and compromise of 1850?
The Compromise of 1820 (the Missouri Compromise) and the Compromise of 1850 were created as solutions to land crises about slavery in newly acquired territory.The Missouri Compromise attempted to ease tensions between the North and South over the balance of power. The South was afraid of the North's growing representation in the house due to their rapidly expanding population. The North did not want the another slave-state incorporated in the Union. The compromise resulted in the establishment of the 36030' line that prohibited slavery in all territories south of the boundary.The Compromise of 1850 introduced the idea of popular sovereignty, the ability of individual states to decide the legality of slavery for themselves. In order to appease the South, the compromise included a fugitive slave act that allowed slaveowners to recapture their slaves, whether in a free state or not.The Fugitive Slave Act led to Supreme Court case Dred Scott v. Sandford. Dred Scott was a slave that sued for his freedom. He lost due to a four-part decision by Chief Justice Taney: Dred Scott was not a citizen of the United States, he could not sue for his freedom because he was not a legal citizen, Congress had no power to prohibit slavery, and that the Missouri Compromise was therefore unconstitutional.
