the temperature at which the solution freezes is lowered.
Yes it does. Think about this. In the winter time, ice is formed. Ice is frozen water. What is added to that ice to melt it? Salt. When the salt is added, it lowers the freezing point of the water which will allow it to be melted easier.
Yes, adding a solute to water will generally lower its freezing point. Freezing point lowering is a colligative property, which means that the extent of the effect depends primarily on the concentration of the solute and not the nature of the solute particles.

In this case the freezing point is lowered.
No it lowers the freezing point.
When a solute is dissolved into water the freezing point will lower. In other words, if you want to freeze a solution of water and some solute, you will have to cool it beyond the freezing point of pure water.
== == Pressure has an effect on the freezing point of water, though it isn't as substantial as the effect of pressure on boiling point. We could say that these values are at standard pressure, but realistically there is no noticeable difference of water's freezing point on various altitudes on earth. But it should be noted that if there are ions dissolved in the water, the freezing point will drop significantly due to the added solute. The melting point of water is the same as the freezing point of water; 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius.
A solute added to water decreases the freezing point.
As explanation may be the interactions between the molecules of water and the molecules of the solute; the entropy of the solute is then decreased.
water can be compressed and it would make the freezing point and the boiling point lower

The freezing point of salted water is lower than the freezing point of pure water; this is a phenomenon known as freezing point depression when a solute exist in the solution.
A solute added to water decreases the freezing point.
what is the effect of the addition of a non volatile solute to the boiling point of water?
It lowers the freezing point.
As explanation may be the interactions between the molecules of water and the molecules of the solute; the entropy of the solute is then decreased.
An impurity, such as salt lowers the freezing point of water by interfering with the lattice structure water makes with hydrogen bonding at it's freezing point.
water can be compressed and it would make the freezing point and the boiling point lower
Dissolved solute (NaCl, salt) will raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point of water. This is known as a colligative property.
This is a colligative property. Adding a solute will increase the boiling point and decrease the freezing point. The reason has to due with intermolecular forces, and interruption thereof. When water molecules have solute in between them, the temperature has to be lower than normal in order for them to freeze.
