    Molality is 16.1 m

    Explanation:

    37 % by mass indicates that 37 g of HCl, our solute, is contained in 100 g of solution. Let's determine the mass of solvent.

    Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent

    100 g = 37 g + Mass of solvent

    Mass of solvent is 63 g

    Let's convert the mass to kg → 63 g. 1kg / 1000 g = 0.063kg for molality

    Let's convert the mass of solute to moles → 37 g. 1 mol / 36.45 g = 1.01 moles of solute

    Molality → mol/kg = 1.01 mol / 0.063 kg → 16.1 m
