Due to the polar nature of the water molecule, it associates with ions or other molecules (including other water molecules) possessing a positive or negative charge.
Solubility of oxygen:The salting out effect When dissolved in water,
NsCl dissociates into a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion. Water molecules are attracted to these ions and orient around them as waters of hydration.
Thus, less oxygen will dissolve in water with a high salt content than in ‘fresh’ water.
Gases such as oxygen dissolve less readily in water that is bonded in this manner. We might say that the salt ‘competes’ with the gases for the water molecules. Where there is a great deal of salt present, as in marine waters, a significant number of water molecules are present as waters of hydration.

According to LeChatlier’s Principle, the equilibrium would move to the left, consuming H+ and raising the pH.
While, at first glance, this looks to reduce the concentration of carbonate, the increase in pH re-distributes the DIC species, leading to an increase in the carbonate concentration.
