    Answer is: the maximum concentration of Pb²⁺ is 6.8·10⁻³ M.

    Chemical reaction 1: PbCl₂ (s) → Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq).

    Chemical reaction 2: NaCl (aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq).

    Ksp (PbCl₂) = 1.7·10⁻⁵.

    c (NaCl) = c (Cl⁻) = 0.0500 M.

    Ksp (PbCl₂) = c (Pb²⁺) · c (Cl⁻) ².

    c (Pb²⁺) = Ksp (PbCl₂) : c (Cl⁻) ².

    c (Pb²⁺) = 1.7·10⁻⁵ M³ : (0.0500 M) ².

    c (Pb²⁺) = 0.000017 M³ : 0.0025 M².

    c (Pb²⁺) = 0.0068 M = 6.8·10⁻³ M.
