The reduction of a metal oxide is easier if the metal formed is in a liquid state at the temperature of reduction because-

1. Entropy is higher if the metal is in a liquid state than when it is in solid-state
2. Entropy is lower if the metal is in a liquid state than when it is in solid-state
3. Equilibrium constant value is low metal formed in a liquid state
4. None of the above
