NaCl (Table Salt) is a solute in H2O, water, the solvent. Solid solutes lower the melting point (freezing point) points and raise the boiling points of liquid solvents. The particles of the salt interfere with the change of state, therefore causing liquid solvents to freeze (and/or melt) at lower temperatures and for liquid to boil at higher temperatures.

What point of temperature does a liquid turn into a solid?

Different liquids have different freezing points. For water its 0 degrees celcius but other liquids will have different freezing points because of the element that make it up and the size of its molocules. ;)

What is needed in order far liquids to solidify?

For liquids to solidify, the temperature of the liquid must be below its freezing point. Every substance has a different freezing point. For example, water's freezing point is 0 degrees Celsius. At 1 degree, it will be a liquid. If you cool it down to -1, it will solidify.
