So,

Remember the following:

Let's first find the molality of solution:

Our solute here is C12H22O11. So let's first find the moles of solute dividing the amount in grams provided by the problem by the molar mass:

A solution is prepared by dissolving 9.79 g of ordinary sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11, 342 g-example-1
A solution is prepared by dissolving 9.79 g of ordinary sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11, 342 g-example-2
