- Choose the correct sets with respective observations:
(1) \( \text{CuSO}_4 \) (acidified with acetic acid) + \( K_2\text{Fe(CN)}_6 \) (neutralized with NaOH) → Blue precipitate
(2) \( 2\text{CuSO}_4 \) + \( K_2\text{Fe(CN)}_6 \) → Blue precipitate
(3) \( 4\text{FeCl}_3 \) + \( 3\text{K}_4\text{Fe(CN)}_6 \) → \( \frac{1}{2}K_4\text{Fe(CN)}_6 \)
