10,9 g/L

Explanation:

if s are the mol of #PbCl_2# that solubilize, you from the reaction have s
the mol of #Pb^(2+)# and 2s the mol of #Cl^-#
Kps is
#Kps = [Pb^(2+)] xx [Cl^-]^2 = s xx (2s)^2 = 4 s^3 = 2.4 xx 10^(-4)#
hence
#s = root(3)((2.4 xx 10^(-4))/4)=root(3)( 60 xx 10^-6) = 3,9 xx 10^-2 (mol)/L#
Since a mol of #PbCl_2# is 278.2 g, solubility in g/L is:
# S= 3,9 xx 10^-2 (mol)/L xx 278.2 g/(mol) = 10,9 g/L#
