The value of $K_{sp}$ of $PbCl_{2}$ is 1.7× $10^{-5}$ .

So, option C is correct one.

Calculation,

Number of moles of $PbCl_{2}$ = mass/molar mass = 0.45/278.1 = 1.618× $10^{-3}$ moles

Concentration of $Pb^{+2}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ion

Molarity of $Pb^{+2}$ = Number of moles of solute /volume in lit

Molarity of $Pb^{+2}$ = 1.618× $10^{-3}$ moles /0.1 lit = 0.0162 M

$PbCl_{2}$ → $Pb^{+2}$ + 2 $Cl^{-}$

For certain amount of $Pb^{+2}$ , twice this amount of $Cl^{-}$ ion formed.

The concentration of $Cl^{-}$ ion formed = 2× 0.0162 M = 0.0324 M

Now,

$K_{sp}$ of $PbCl_{2}$ = [ $Pb^{+2}$ ] $[Cl^{-}]^{2}$ = 0.0162 × $[0.0324 ]^{2}$ = 1.7× $10^{-5}$ .
