Monoclinic I think. I'm not sure
PbSO₄ partially dissociates in water. the balanced equation is;
PbSO₄(s) ⇄ Pb²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)
Initial - -

Equilibrium X X
Ksp = [Pb²⁺(aq)] [SO₄²⁻(aq)]
1.6 x 10⁻⁸ = X * X
1.6 x 10⁻⁸ = X²
X = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M
Hence the Pb²⁺ concentration in underground water is 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M.
[Pb²⁺] = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M.
= 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ mol / L x 207 g / mol
= 26.91 ppm
