No, generally that would lower the freezing point, not raise it. Salty water freezes at a lower temperature than pure water. And salt can melt ice, which is the same phenomenon.

Does adding more solute to a solvent raise its freezing point lower its boiling point raise its boiling point or does not affect its boiling point?
raise its freezing point
What happens to a solvent when a nonvolatile solute is added to it?
It increases the boiling point of the solution and it increases the temperature range over which the solution remains a liquid.
What effect does adding a solute to a solvent have on the freezing point of the solvent?
the temperature at which the solution freezes is lowered.
Why does adding a solute to a solvent raise the boiling point of the solution?
A nonvolatile ( not readily evaporated) solute elevates the boiling point of a solvent (the temperature at which the solvent boils) because its presence lowers the vapor pressure of the solvent. * The normal boiling point of a liquid occurs at the temperature where the vapor pressure is equal to 1 atmosphere. * The presence of a nonvolatile solute decreases the number of solvent molecules per unit volume , so less molecules escape form the liquid. Thus the vapor pressure of the solvent decreases. * Therefore, such a solution with lower vapor pressure must be heated to a higher temperature than the boiling point of the pure solvent to reach a vapor pressure of 1 atmosphere.
What will the nonvolatile solute do to the freezing point of a solvent?
This is the property of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation. This is because of the solute absorbing the energy added to the system to heat its own molecules and so it would require more energy to boil the solvent. Likewise for freezing point depression, the molecules retain more energy.
What effect does solute have on the boiling point of a solvent?
The solute increases the boiling point of the solvent
What will adding solute to pure solvents cause?
Adding a solute to a pure solvent will lower the freezing point, elevate the boiling point, and lower the vapor pressure.
Does adding more solute to a solvent raise its freezing point lower its boiling point raise its boiling point or does not affect its boiling point?
raise its freezing point
How a similarities and dissimilarities of solute and solvent affect the boiling point of solution?
solute is which we are mixing and solvent is that in which we are mixing solute
How adding solute changes the properties of a solvent?
Solutes raise and lower the boiling points of solvents. :)
What is it called when the presence of a nonvolatile solute will do what to the boiling point of a solvent?
Boiling point elevation
What effects do solutes have on a solvent's freezing and boiling boints?
The effect of a solute on the freezing point and boiling point of a solvent is related to what is known as the colligative property. Upon addition of the solute, the freezing point will be lowered, and the boiling point will be increased. The magnitude of the change will depend on the solute and how many particles it forms upon dissolving, and on the nature of the solvent and the freezing/boiling point constant for that solvent.
The presence of a nonvolatile solute will what the boiling point of a solvent?
RAISE
What happens to a solvent when a nonvolatile solute is added to it?
It increases the boiling point of the solution and it increases the temperature range over which the solution remains a liquid.
How do different solutes affect boiling point?
When a solute is added to a solvent, the boiling point is raised according to the equation ΔTb=Kbm. Thus, the boiling temperature of a solution can be described by: Tb(solution)=ΔTb + Tb(pure solvent). However, for the purposes of this question, adding a solute increases the boiling point of a solution.
