Pressure has no effect on the solubility of KNO3 in water. This is because it is solid in liquid type of solution. In solid in liquid type of solution, solid is solute (minor component), liquid is solvent (major component). For solid in liquid type of solutions, solubility is independent of pressure.
On other hand, pressure has a pronounced effect on the solubility of gas in liquid type solutions. In such system, gas is solute (minor component) and liquid is solvent (major component). Example of such solution is aerated water. Herein, CO2 is dissolved in water. In such gas in liquid type of solutions, solubility increases with increasing pressure.
<span>The object that was trying to be oxidized would end up being reduced. There would be no net reaction otherwise. The KCl would have simply melted after a long enough time and with the application of enough heat to the crucible.</span>
