Immediately after the golf ball is hit by the putter, the ball has 12 joules of mechanical energy. Seconds later, after the ball has rolled several meters through the grass, its mechanical energy has dropped to 4 joules due to friction with the grass and air.

The amount of mechanical energy lost by the golf ball is the amount of heat energy gained by the ball, grass, and air molecules due to friction.

Answer is:     molar solubility of  yttrium fluorid is 4.23·10⁻⁶ m. balanced chemical reaction: yf₃(s)  → y³⁺(aq) + 3f⁻(aq). ksp = 8.62·10⁻²¹. ksp = [y³⁺]  · [f⁻]³.[y³⁺] = [yf₃] = s.[f⁻] = 3[yf₃] = 3s.ksp(yf₃)  = s  · (3s)³.8.62·10⁻²¹ = 27s⁴.s(yf₃)  =  ⁴√(8.62·10⁻²¹  ÷ 27).s(yf₃)  = 0.00000423 m.s(yf₃) = 4.23·10⁻⁶ m.

Neptunium is the only of those 4 that doesn’t occur naturally.

In order to improve results, many different steps can be taken into account. 1) using more precise scales and thermometers is always something that should be considered as being precise means that you are more exact with your answer.2) increasing the sample size should also be considered, if you have a bigger sample size you are able to determine if your results are accurate as well as if there are any variables that should be taken into account plus it assists in the statistical analysis and produces overall better data3) using better handwriting is also a plus, along with organizing the data properly so that others are also able to read the results and even redo the experiment in the future if it is needed.
