  6. Aluminium amalgam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_amalgam

    The presence of water in the solution is reportedly necessary; the electron rich amalgam will oxidize aluminium and generate hydrogen gas from water, creating aluminium hydroxide (Al(OH) 3) and free mercury. The electrons from the aluminium reduce mercuric Hg 2+ ion [clarification needed] to metallic mercury. The metallic mercury can then form ...
