Explain why pressure affects the solubility of oxygen in water but not the solubility of Nacl in water?

The reason that it effects the solubulity of oxygen is that it is gaseous while NaCl is solid at room temperature. The oxygen molecules are effected by the increase in pressure in the way that there are more of them per unit volume of air if you increase air pressure. This is clearly not the case for the Na and Cl atoms which are ionically bonded to one another and are therefore solid. If you want to know more about the reason that pressure effects the solubility of oxygen in water, have a wee look at partial pressures.
