When a solvent is added to any solute, the freezing point decreases. (This was not the question asked.)
When you add solute to a solid, it depresses the freezing point. An example of this is using salt to melt the ice on roads and sidewalks.
I don't think a solute changes the melting point of a solid. A solute dissolves a solid.

Yes, This solid is called a solute.
Adding a solid nonionizing solute to a solvent will decrease the freezing point of the solvent. This phenomenon is known as freezing-point depression and is a colligative property, where the presence of solute particles disrupts the solvent's ability to form solid crystals, requiring a lower temperature to freeze.
The answer is "Freezing point depression" on Apex
Boiling point elevation
The boiling point rises and the freezing point lowers.The reason being, when a solute dissolves in a solvent, the solute molecules wedge themselves between the solvent molecules. In order for the solvent to freeze, its molecules have to get close enough together to form a solid. However, the solute molecules are in the way. As a result, it requires much colder temperatures for the solvent molecules to form a solid, despite the hindrance of the solute's molecules. The same sort of thing happens when trying to boil the solvent, only instead of holding the solvent molecules apart, the solute molecules end up holding them together, preventing them from boiling. Therefore, a more energy is needed to break the bond between solvent and solute, which allows the solvent to boil.
It turns to a solid.
it becomes a solid
Adding a solute to a solution lowers its freezing point, a phenomenon known as freezing point depression. This occurs because the solute particles disrupt the formation of a solid lattice structure in the solvent, requiring a lower temperature to achieve freezing. The extent of this depression depends on the concentration of the solute and the properties of the solvent. As a result, solutions freeze at temperatures lower than the pure solvent's freezing point.
