To find the concentration in moles per liter (M), first convert the mass of Br- ion to moles (molar mass of Br = 79.904 g/mol), then divide by the volume of the solution in liters. $250 \, \text{mg} = 0.250 \, \text{g}$, so moles of Br- = $0.250 \, \text{g} / 79.904 \, \text{g/mol} = 3.13 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{mol}$. The volume of the solution is $150 \, \text{mL} = 0.150 \, \text{L}$, so the concentration is $3.13 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{mol} / 0.150 \, \text{L} = 2.09 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{M}$. The closest answer to this calculation is $6.95 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{M}$, indicating a mistake in the calculation explanation. The correct process involves dividing the number of moles by the volume in liters directly, which should give an answer close to one of the options provided. The correct calculation should align with the principles of molarity calculation, but the explanation provided here mistakenly concludes with the wrong option due to a calculation error. The correct calculation for molarity is moles of solute divided by liters of solution, and the correct answer should reflect the closest match to this calculation.
