question 22

Multiple Choice

If an ionic bond is stronger than a dipole-dipole interaction,how can water dissolve an ionic compound?

• A)The ion-dipole interactions of a bunch of water molecules gang up on the strong ionic bond and pull it into the solution.
• B)The ionic bond is weakened by the ion-dipole interactions and ionic repulsion ejects the ions from the crystal.
• C)The ion-dipole interaction causes the ions to heat up and vibrate free of the crystal.
• D)The ions never overcome their interatomic attraction and therefore are not soluble.
• E)none of the above

Definitions:

Equilibrium GDP

Equilibrium GDP, or Gross Domestic Product, is the level of output where aggregate demand equals aggregate supply, resulting in no unintended changes in inventories.

Inflationary Gap

This term reflects the difference between the actual output of an economy and the maximum potential output it could achieve with full employment, often indicating inflation pressures.

Equilibrium GDP

The level of Gross Domestic Product at which the total quantity of goods and services produced equals the total quantity of goods and services purchased.

Deflationary Gap

A condition in which aggregate demand is lower than the aggregate supply potentially leading to deflation.
