Cooling the solution below the freezing point of the solvent restores the dynamic equilibrium because it both reduces the number of molecules that have enough kinetic energy to break free from the solid and become liquid again and it increases the number of molecules in the liquid with low enough kinetic energy to become solid.
The actual value of the van't Hoff factor i, or number of dissolved particles per formula unit, is determined from the measured freezing point.
Freezing, like any phase change, is an equilibrium process; that is, the rate at which particles leave the liquid state and become solid is the same as the rate at which particles leave the solid state and become liquid.

 Che135L < Molar Mass by Freezing Point Depression
The freezing point of the solvent (the temperature at which solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium) is determined by cooling the solution and plotting a graph of temperature as a function of time.
In practice, it is necessary to first determine the freezing point of the solvent alone, since the solvent may not be pure.
However, a solution will freeze over a range of temperatures and will not exhibit the constant freezing point of the pure liquid; instead of exhibiting a horizontal portion, the plot will show a change of slope when solid solvent begins to form.
