Turning Lead into Gold: Golden Rain Experiment (Lead Iodide Synthesis)

This experiment is the Golden Rain experiment, aka the synthesis of Lead Iodide. The entire process is quite beautiful, and I think really highlights the beauty of chemistry, and science! I also have some gold I can compare it to. Honestly, the color reminds me more of mustard, or spray american cheese than gold, atleast while its close to the saturation point.
BEFORE DOING THIS EXPERIMENT:
I highly recommend that you do not do this, unless you are a moderately skilled chemist. Lead, and its salts are toxic, and I did not show how the cleanup is done so YOU can do the research into being a dutiful chemist.

The chemicals required are:
Lead Nitrate, Potassium Iodide, Distilled water, and Baking Soda. The easy way to do the experiment is just to mix the lead nitrate, and potassium iodide, and forgo the recrystallization. I hope you all enjoy the experiment, and thanks SO much for 500 subscribers! I can proudly say I have the best damn subscribers in all of YouTube! I honestly think that I can keep doing a set of chemical reactions with you all behind me!
