A solid precipitate is formed from the reaction of lead nitrate and sodium chromate. What would be the best method to separate this solid from the solution?

Lead nitrate and sodium chromate react to form solid lead chromate, which precipitates out of the solution. Filtration separates an insoluble solid from a liquid by trapping the solid in a filter while the solution passes through. Distillation and evaporation are used to separate dissolved substances or recover liquids, and sorting is not suitable for a solid mixed into a solution.
