    [HOCH₂CH₂OH] = 24.1 m

    Explanation:

    Ethylene glycol → HOCH₂CH₂OH

    60% by mass means that 60 g of ethylene glycol are contained in 100 g of solution.

    Solution mass = Solute mass + Solvent mass

    100 g = 60 g + Solvent mass

    Solvent mass = 40 g

    Molality are the moles of solute contained in 1kg of solvent.

    We determine the moles of solute → 60 g. 1mol/62 g = 0.967 moles

    We convert the mass of solvent from g to kg → 40 g. 1kg/1000 g = 0.04 kg

    Molality → 0.967 mol / 0.04 kg = 24.1 m
