Let 'S'(mol/L) be the solubility of PbCl2

PbCl2 -----> Pb2+ + 2Cl-

MgCl2 -----> Mg2+ + 2Cl-

[ Pb2+] = S

[Cl-] = [Cl-]PbCl2 + [Cl-]MgCl2

      = 2S + (2x0.1)

      = 2S + 0.2

[ Pb2+] = S

Solubility product constant , Ksp = [ Pb2+] [Cl-]2 = 1.7x10-5

                                               S x ( 2S+0.2)2 = 1.7x10-5

                                                   S = 4.25x10-4 mol/L

Therefore the molar solubility of PbCl2 is 4.25x10-4 mol/L
