Science + math
Build the model.
Then calculate.
A solution contains 0.15 mol at a concentration of 0.30 mol/L. To find its final volume, begin with c = n/V, then rearrange to V = n/c. The result is 0.15/0.30 = 0.50 L. Choosing the scientific relationship and rearranging it are separate decisions.
Check by putting the volume back into the relationship: 0.15 mol / 0.50 L = 0.30 mol/L. Use chemistry to identify what each quantity measures and algebra to explain why the rearrangement is valid.
