Which among the following solutions has minimum boiling point elevation?

Which among the following solutions has minimum boiling point elevation?
  1. $0.1 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{NaCl}$
  2. $0.2 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{KNO}_3$
  3. $0.1 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$
  4. $0.05 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{CaCl}_2$

Solution

$\mathrm{NaCl} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}^{+}+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ Total ions $=0.1+0.1=0.2$ ions $\mathrm{KNO}_3 \longrightarrow \mathrm{K}^{+}+\mathrm{NO}_3^{-}$ Total ions $=0.2+0.2=0.4$ ions $\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Na}^{+}+\mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}$ Total ions $=0.2+0.1=0.3$ ions $\mathrm{CaCl}_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ Total ions $=0.05+0.1=0.15$ ions $0.05 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{CaCl}_2$ solution has minimum ions in solution, so it shows minimum boiling point elevation.
