    The difference of molarity and molality is in the units:

    Molarity is expressed in mol solute / L solution;

    while Molality is expressed in mol solute / kg solvent

    Since no other data is given, let us assume that the contribution of methanol on the total volume is negligible. So that,

    Molality = (20.3 mol / L) (1 L / 0.858 kg)

    Molality = 23.66 m

    The closest answer is letter C. 23.7 m
