Explanation:

#"Molality"="Moles of solute"/"Kilograms of solvent"#.

We have the mass of the solute. We do not know what it is and thus we cannot calculate its molar quantity, and thereby its molal concentration remains inaccessible.

#"Molality"=((18*g)/("Molar mass of solute"))/(0.5*kg)=??*mol*kg^-1#.
