Raising of the boiling point is a colligative property. That means that it depends on the number of particles dissolved. The greater the number of particles the greater the increase in the boiling point. So, you can compare the effect of these solutes in the increase of the boiling point by writing the chemical equations and comparing the number of particles dissolved: 1)ionic lithium chloride, LiCl(s) --> Li(+) + Cl (-) => 2 ions; 2) ionic sodium chloride, NaCl(s) --> Na(+) + Cl(-) => 2 ions; 3) molecular sucrose, C12H22O11 (s) ---> C12H22O11(aq) => 1 molecule; 4) ionic phosphate, Na3PO4 --> 3Na(+) + PO4 (3-) => 4 ions; 5) ionic magnesium bromide, MgBr2 --> Mg(2+) + 2 Br(-) => 3 ions. <span>So, ionic phosphate produces the greatest number of particles and it will cause the greatest increase of the boiling point.</span><span />
Barium has a 2+ charge as it is in group 2 in the periodic table and so it has two electrons in its outer shell and chloride has a -1 charge on its chloride ion. So we will need two of the chloride ions as we have a 2+ charge to match the amount of charge on one barium ion- forming barium ion
