The copper will displace the mercury in the mercury nitrate solution to form copper nitrate. The reaction will lead to the formation of mercury and copper nitrate solution. This is because copper is more reactive than mercury.

Cu (s) + Hg (NO3)2 (aq) ==> Hg (s) + Cu (NO3)2 (aq)
Copper (Z =29) is much more reactive than Mercury (Z = 80).
Mercury has gray color. The gray precipitate will form in the middle of blue copper nitrate solution.
