Help IDing some succulents

Do the wonderful denizens of this forum ever get tired of IDing people's succulents? I hope not! It's so appreciated.

New acquisitions from the big box store. It's becoming an addiction...

#2 (leaves look more like the ones in the rosette - I'd just sprayed it with an alcohol mix)

#3 This one was labeled as Kalanchoe tomentosa "Black Tie" but google images seemed to disagree

#4 This is one I've had, that I thought I'd ID'd myself as Crassula arborescans undulatifolia (Ripple Jade), but the more I look at it and compare, I don't think it is. The leaves are thick and fleshy, the stem somewhat woody.

Thanks for any help!

2 might be Pachyveria glauca 'Little Jewel' and 3 might be Cotyledon 'White Sprite' or similar. 4 definitely has some ripple to the leaves, so it very well may be Crassula arborescens undulatifolia. It may need to grow out some more in good conditions to be sure.

I also acquired this one, which was labeled as Echeveria minima, which I thought was correct... but maybe not?

May I ask why did you spray plant(s) with alcohol mix?

In case they brought home any pests, which I saw on some of the other plants at the store... was that bad? :(

Not really, I just wondered. I would rather not buy plants if I could see bugs...

Thank you! Could #2 possibly be a Pachyphytum compactum as well? I hope it is a Little Jewel, because I've already got a P. compactum (I think), and the LJ looks beautiful! But this one seems to be a straight darker green rather than the colors of Little Jewel.

#4 definitely has the ripple, but in photos and at the store, real Ripple Jade seems to have a matte, somewhat powdery leaf that grows upward, while mine is a glossy green leaf that grows out. The undersides of the newest budding leaves are solid red, like the edges of the leaves, and I haven't seen that either. But it may be the variety or the conditions it's growing in.

Thrilled about the Cotyledon White Sprite, thanks for identifying it!
