Answer is: molality of urea is 5.84 m.

If we use 100 mL of solution:
d(solution) = 1.07 g/mL.
m(solution) = 1.07 g/mL · 100 mL.
m(solution) = 107 g.
ω(N₂H₄CO) = 26% ÷ 100% = 0.26.
m(N₂H₄CO) = m(solution) · ω(N₂H₄CO).
m(N₂H₄CO) = 107 g · 0.26.
m(N₂H₄CO) = 27.82 g.
1) calculate amount of urea:
n(N₂H₄CO) = m(N₂H₄CO) ÷ M(N₂H₄CO).
n(N₂H₄CO) = 27.82 g ÷ 60.06 g/mol.
n(N₂H₄CO) = 0.463 mol; amount of substance.
2) calculate mass of water:
m(H₂O) = 107 g - 27.82 g.
m(H₂O) = 79.18 g ÷ 1000 g/kg.
m(H₂O) = 0.07918 kg.
3) calculate molality:
b = n(N₂H₄CO) ÷ m(H₂O).
b = 0.463 mol ÷ 0.07918 kg.
b = 5.84 mol/kg.

Answer:

[tex]m=5.855m[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

Molality is defined as:

[tex]m=\frac{n_{N_2H_4CO}}{m_{solvent}}[/tex]

Thus, as the solution is % by mass, one assumes that the mass of urea is 26g and the mass of the solution 100g, in such a way, one computes the moles of urea by knowing its molecular mass:

[tex]n_{N_2H_4CO}=26gN_2H_4CO*\frac{1molN_2H_4CO}{60gN_2H_4CO}=0.433molN_2H_4CO[/tex]

Now, as solution has a mass of 100g, the solvent has a mass of 74g which corresponds to 0.074L since the density of water is 1g/mL; in such a way the molality is:

[tex]m=\frac{0.433mol}{0.074kg}=5.855m[/tex]

Best regards.
