It's 18 (the same as the number of protons:)
The balanced equation is 2HgO --> 2Hg + O2
Reasons why percent yield is more than 100
Typically, percent yields are understandably less than 100% because of the reasons indicated earlier. However, percent yields greater than 100% are possible if the measured product of the reaction contains impurities that cause its mass to be greater than it actually would be if the product was pure.

Answer:
The breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen is termed as anaerobic respiration.
Explanation:
Anaerobic respiration or anaerobic oxidation occur in absence of oxygen molecule within the cytoplasm of cell that ultimately leads to the formation of lactate from pyruvate by the catalytic activity of lactate dehydrogenase enzyme.This reaction helps in the regeneration of NAD+.
During Anaerobic respiration only 2 molecules of ATP are formed by substrate level phosphorylation .
