No, attempting to do so will destroy the adapter. It maywork for a short time, but it certainly won't work for long.

An adapter should be sized so that it does not normally exceed 80% of it's duty rating. The maximum rating should only be used for brief periods.

Can you use ac dc adapter of 12 volts and 2 amps for an appliance rated for 7.5 volts and 1.8 amps?

To use an adapter of this sort, its rated voltage must match the rated voltage of the appliance, and its rated current must exceed that of the appliance. So, in your example, the rated voltage is too high to be used with your appliance.
