Probably not.

There are two types of adapters- regulated and non-regulated. An unregulated 9V adapter might have as much as 16 volts across its terminals when not connected, and deliver only 9V under load. Enough to fry something expecting 7.5 volts.

A regulated 9V adapter is better behaved and will probably deliver 9-10 volts. Still, this may well fry your 7.5 V device.

Get the right adapter.

Can you use 5v ac adapter instead of 4.5v ac adapter?

Yes the voltage is close enough to work. What you have to be cautious about is the milliamp output of the adapter. Make sure that the output of the adapter is higher than the device that plugs into it.
