    molality is defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the mass of the solvent:

    m = n/msolvent

    So we need to find the number of moles of solute, and the mass of solvent that contains them:

    mass of solute in 100 mL of solution = 93g H2S04

    divide by the molar mass of H2SO4 to get the number of moles of solute:

    93 g H2SO4 / 98.08 = 0.948 moles of H2SO4. This is "n" in the original equation when referring to 100 mL of solution.

    Now we need to find the weight of the *solvent* (note this is not the weight of the solution).

    The weight of 100 mL of solution is 1.84 g/mL x 100 mL = 184 g of solution.

    This is made up of solute + solvent. So 93g solute + Ygrams solvent = 184g solution.

    Y = 184 - 93 = 91. So in 100 mL of solution there are 93g of solute, and 91g of solvent.

    Now you are ready to calculate the molality:

    Molality = n/msolvent = 0.948 / 91 = 0.01 mol/g = 10 mol/kg
