The solubility of NaCl in water will not be affected by an increase in pressure.
We know that the density of NaCl(s) in 2.165 g/cm³ at 25 °C and we want to know how will its solubility in water be affected when the pressure is increased.
Solubility is the maximum mass of a solute that can be dissolved in 100 grams of solvent at a determined temperature.
The solubility of a solid, such as NaCl, in a liquid, is mainly affected by the temperature. However, since solids are not compressible, an increase in pressure will not affect its solubility.
On the other hand, the solubility of gases in water will increase with an increase in pressure, as stated by Henry's law.
The solubility of NaCl in water will not be affected by an increase in pressure.
