The diagram shows a failed attempt to copper-plate a pan.

Which can be done to plate the pan with copper?

• Cool the copper sulfate solution in an ice bath

• Heat the copper sulfate solution to boiling point

• Increase the voltage from 2V to 6V

• Make the pan the cathode and the copper the anode
