Solution:
All the given drugs caffeine, acetaminophen and aspirin are polar compounds. Thus, they posses polarity due to presence of polar functional groups (OH, COOH, C=O groups).
In TLC, eluting power of a compound increases with increasing polarity of solvent. Hence, elution of polar compounds (aspirin, caffeine and acetaminophen) requires polar solvent.
Hexane is a nonpolar solvent, hence it decreases the eluting power of drugs (aspirin, caffeine and acetaminophen). Therefore, it is not considered as a good developing solvent for the above mentioned polar compounds.

In our Thin-Layer Chromatography Lab, we were asked to determine the components of Excedrin by analyzing the development of aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine on a TLC plate and compare it to Excedrin's development. Pure ethyl acetate was used as the solvent, and each analyte was mixed with 95% ethanol. Unfortunately, our professor suspected that our TLC plates were old/deteriorated as every group was unable to detect CAFFEINE or ASPIRIN with a UV lamp, but ACETAMINOPHEN and EXCEDRIN were easily detected...

These questions are from an experiment where we had a mixture of Ferrocene, acetylferrocene and diacetyl ferrocene and we separated each by using column chromatography. Before doing the column chromatography we did TLC analysis to ensure that we did, in fact, have a mixture of these 3 compounds. During the column chromatography we first eluted the ferrocene using pure hexane. Then we eluted the acetylferrocene using a 1:1 mixture of hexane and methylene chloride. Then we eluted the diacetylferrocene using...
