    Based on the given molecular formula, the molar mass of ethylene glycol is 62 g/mol. We solve for the number of moles of the solute,

    n = (7.1 kg) (1000 g / 1 kg) / 62g/mol = 114.52 mol

    Then, we divide this value by the given mass of the water in kg

    m = (114.52 mol) / 1.2 kg = 95.43 m

    Thus, the molality of the substance is approximately equal to 95.43 m.
