```
Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution
```
First, we need to calculate the moles of potassium bromide (KBr) dissolved in the solution:
```
Moles of KBr = mass of KBr / molar mass of KBr
```
The molar mass of KBr is approximately 119.0 g/mol.
```
Moles of KBr = 26.3 g / 119.0 g/mol = 0.221 mol
```
Next, we need to convert the volume of the solution from milliliters (mL) to liters (L):
```
Volume of solution = 487 mL = 0.487 L
```
Now we can calculate the molarity of the solution:
```
Molarity (M) = 0.221 mol / 0.487 L = 0.454 M
```
Therefore, the molarity of the solution obtained when 26.3 g potassium bromide are diluted to 487 mL is 0.454 M.
