Dry ice can be turned into a liquid but there is a very slim range of temperatures that it can exist at.

What does dry ice form when added to water?

It generally forms water ice and carbon dioxide vapor.Dry ice is so much colder than the freezing point of water, if you drop dry ice into water the water will freeze. At the same time, water ice is so much above the freezing point of CO2 that the dry ice sublimates back into gaseous CO2.

Does cyclohexane freeze in dry ice?

Cyclohexane's melting point is about +6 degrees Celsius. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) maintains a temperature of -78C in normal conditions. Cyclohexane will thus freeze on dry ice. In fact, a closed container of cyclohexane would freeze on regular, water ice. Regular hexane (linear) has a freezing point around -100C, and will remain a liquid on dry ice, much as ethanol or acetone do.

About the temperature of dry ice. It is the same as putting frozen water (ice) in a glass of water. The temperature of the ice and water will be about equal to the freezing point of water. Alcohol is used because it has a freezing point lower than H2O, if you put dry ice in water everything will freeze.

Dry ice can only sublimate.
