Soluble impurities (that is, impurities that are included within the crystal matrix) tend to lower the observed melting point and broaden the melting point range. Insoluble impurities have no effect on the melting point. Found from website: http://swc2.hccs.edu/pahlavan/2423L1.pdf

What is the effect of an insoluble solid such as glass on the boiling temperature of a liquid?

If the solid is insoluble, it will have little or no effect on the boiling point. If it is soluble, it will raise the boiling point.

What effect does salt have on the melting point of ice?

when salt is added to ice, salt being an impurity, reduces the inter molecular space between ice molecules. As we know that ice, in order to melt, contracts, i.e reduces the inter molecular space between its molecules. salt increases this activity and so ice melts at a lower temperature than it usually does. i.e salt decreases the melting point of ice.
