At \(298 \mathrm{~K},\) the standard electrode potentials of \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+} /\mathrm{Cu}, \mathrm{Zn}^{2+} / \mathrm{Zn}, \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} / \mathrm{Fe}\) and \(\mathrm{Ag}^{+} / \mathrm{Ag} \) are \(0.34 \mathrm{~V}, -0.76 \mathrm{~V},-0.44 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(0.80 \mathrm{~V},\) respectively.
On the basis of standard electrode potentials, predict which of the following reaction can not occur?
1. \(2 \mathrm{CuSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{Ag}(\mathrm{s}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq}) \)
2. \(\mathrm{CuSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{s}) \) \(\rightarrow \mathrm{ZnSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s}) \)
3. \(\mathrm{CuSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{s}) \) \(\rightarrow \mathrm{FeSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{s}) \)
4. \(\mathrm{FeSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{s}) \) \(\rightarrow \mathrm{ZnSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{s}) \)

The standard electrode potential (E°) values of  Al3+/ Al,  Ag+ / Ag, K+ / K,  and Cr3+ / Cr are -1.66 V, 0.80 V, -2.93 V, & -0.79 V respectively. The correct decreasing order of the reducing power of the metal is:

1. Ag > Cr > Al > K 2. K > Al > Cr > Ag
3. K > Al > Ag > Cr 4. Al > K > Ag > Cr
