1 ml H2O = 1 g H2O
1000 g H2O = 1000 mL H2O = 1 L H2O
molarity = mol/volume
[MgCl2] = 1.2 mol / 1 L = 1.2 M
but one significant digit: 1 M

Answer: The molality of the solution is 1.2 m.
Explanation:
To calculate the molality of the solution, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Molality of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent (in kg)}}[/tex]
We are given:
Moles of [tex]MgCl_2[/tex] (solute) = 1.2 moles
Mass of water (solvent) = 1000 g = 1 kg (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\text{Molality of the solution}=\frac{1.2mol}{1kg}=1.2mol/kg=1.2m[/tex]
Hence, the molality of the solution is 1.2 m
