I let this material settle for two days. After these two days, I had a lot of white crystals along the glass wall of the test tube, and the oily layer
had become somewhat waxy. Apparently, the material has picked up water, despite the fact, that I had stoppered the test tube with a rubber stopper.
Most likely, the water was taken out of the H2SO4 again and made the chloral into the chloral hydrate again.
