Sure, but it would be gold 203. The alchemist transmuting a kilogram of lead into gold in such a way would never have to worry about bacterial and viral disease ever again, as ²⁰³Au has a halflife of ~60s, meaning he would be standing next to something giving more than 2.4*10^22 disintegrations per second. Each disintegration gives off on the order of magnitude of 1 MeV, yielding a total power of around 3 GW (or 1 ton TNT/s) for the moment the experimental setup stays together. In fact, such an alchemist would never have to worry about anything ever again.
