The electrons from the aluminium reduce mercuric Hg2+ ion to metallic mercury. The metallic mercury can then form an amalgam with the exposed aluminium metal. The amalgamated aluminium then is oxidized by water, converting the aluminium to aluminium hydroxide and releasing free metallic mercury.

Answer 2

Explanation: hey rishi here is your ans

Aluminum can form an amalgam in solution with Mercury aluminum amalgam may be prepared by either grinding aluminum pellets or wire in Mercury, or by allowing aluminum wire to react with a solution of Mercury chloride in water.

This amalgam is used as chemical reagent to reduce compound's , such as the reduction of imines to amines the aluminum is the unlimited electron donor and the Mercury serves to mediate the electron droplets inside transfer
