You are trying to find an appropriate solvent to use as a TLC mobile phase. Pure hexanes hardly move your sample from the baseline. Preferably, you would like to bring this sample spot to an Rf = 0.35, describe the steps you could take to accomplish this goal.

TLC can be used to confirm the components of over-the-counter analgesics. Assuming that you have pure standard samples of caffeine, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and aspirin, how would you determine if a new analgesic contains any of those four components? Provide information on how you would prepare the samples for analysis and how you would set up the TLC experiments.
