For starters, I would balance the reaction between
Na2Cr2O7 + HgNO3 ==>
Na2Cr2O7 + HgNO3 ==>

is it a double replacement reaction?
2NaNO3 + Hg2Cr2O7
2NaNO3 + Hg2Cr2O7

No. Hg^+1 (which by the way I wrote incorrectly as HgNO3 and it should have been Hg2(NO3)2) is oxidized to Hg^+2 and Cr2O7^-2 is reduced to Cr^+3. That's why they call it a redox equation; there is reduction and oxidation taking place.
