Solution

The correct options are
A treating aqueous solution of $H g {C l}_{2}$ with excess of stannous chloride
C placing copper metal in aqueous solution of $H g {C l}_{2}$
Mercuric chloride is converted into mercury by
(A) placing copper metal in aqueous solution of $H g C l_{2}$
$2 C u + H g C l_{2} \to 2 C u C l + H g$
(B) treating aqueous solution of $H g C l_{2}$ with excess of stannous chloride.
Mercuric chloride oxidses stannous chloride to stannic chloride . It itself is reduced to mercurous chloride.
$2 H g C l_{2} + S n C l_{2} \to H g_{2} C l_{2} + S n C l_{4}$
Mercurous chloride is reduced to metallic mercury (grey) when it reacts with excess of stannous chloride.
$H g_{2} C l_{2} + S n C l_{2} \to 2 H g ↓ S n C l_{4}$
