    For American shot, a useful method for remembering the diameter of numbered shot in inches is simply to subtract the shot size from 17. The resulting answer is the diameter of the shot in hundredths of an inch. For example, #2 shot gives 17−2 = 15, meaning that the diameter of #2 shot is 15 ⁄ 100 or 0.15 in (3.8 mm). B shot is 0.170 in (4.3 ...

    Assuming H 2 densities of 10 5 and [NH 2]/[H 2] ratio of 10 −7, this reaction proceeds at a rate of 2.2 × 10 −12, more than three orders of magnitude slower than the primary reaction above. Some of the other possible formation reactions are: H − + [NH 4] + → NH 3 + H 2 [PNH 3] + + e − → P + NH 3
