The best method to separate the solid precipitate formed from the reaction of lead nitrate and sodium chromate from the solution is **filtration**.
Filtration allows you to separate the solid precipitate from the liquid solution effectively. In this process, the mixture is poured through a filter paper or a filtration device, which allows the liquid (filtrate) to pass through while retaining the solid (residue) on the filter. Other methods like distillation and evaporation are not suitable for separating a solid from a liquid in this case, as they are typically used for separating components in a liquid solution or concentrating a solution, respectively. Sorting is not a feasible method for this type of separation either.
