Lead (II) chloride is insoluble in water, distilled or otherwise, but not as insoluble as the other two insoluble chlorides: AgCl and Hg2Cl2. Recall the solubility rules, where it says that all chlorides are soluble except for silver, lead and mercury (I). You can gauge the “solubility” of an insoluble compound with the Ksp. The Ksp of PbCl2 is 1.7×10^-5. The smaller the Ksp, the more insoluble. Ksp table: http://chemistry.uah.edu/CourseWare/ch12… Lead (II) chloride is somewhat soluble in hot water.
