Answer is: mass of potassium bromide is 4.71 grams.

V (KBr) = 25.4 mL : 1000 mL/L = 0.0254 L, volume of solution.

c (KBr) = 1.56 mol/L.

n (KBr) = c (KBr) · V (KBr).

n (KBr) = 1.56 mol/L 0.054 L.

n (KBr) = 0.0396 mol, amount of substance.

m (KBr) = n (KBr) · M (KBr).

m (KBr) = 0.0396 mol · 119 g/mol.

m (KBr) = 4.71 g.

M - molar mass.
