Molality = Moles of solute / Mass of solvent in kg
Molality is given as 1
Therefore,
1 mole of solute is dissolved in 1 kg of water
Moles of solvent = 1000 g / (18 g/mol)
= 55.55 mol
Mole fraction of solute = 1 / (1 + 55.5)
= 0.017
Mole fraction of solute is 0.017
Molality is given as 1
Therefore,
1 mole of solute is dissolved in 1 kg of water

Hey !!
1.0 m aqueous solution means 1 mole of the solute is present in 1000 g of water.
1000 g of H₂O = 1000 / 18 moles = 55.5 moles
nH₂O = 55.5
Mole fraction,
xsolute = nsolute / n solute + nH₂O = 1 / 1 + 55.5
= 0.0177
Hope it helps you !!
