Which of the following is the correct equation for the formation of magnesium ethanoate? (1)

\text{Mg} + \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \rightarrow \text{MgCH}_3\text{COOH} + \text{H}_2

(2)

\text{MgOH} + \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{COOMg} + \text{H}_2\text{O}

(3)

\text{Mg}(\text{OH})_2 + \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OOH} \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OOMg} + \text{H}_2\text{O}

(4)

\text{MgCO}_3 + 2\text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \rightarrow (\text{CH}_3\text{COO})_2\text{Mg} + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2
