Molality is one way of expressing concentration of a solute in a solution. It is expressed as the mole of solute per kilogram of the solvent. To calculate for the molality of the given solution, we need to convert the mass of solute into moles and divide it to the mass of the solvent.

Molality = 29.5 g glucose (1 mol / 180.16 g ) / .950 kg water
Molality = 0.1724 mol / kg
