A mixture of aspirin and caffeine was dissolved in ethanol and spotted onto a thin layer chromatography plate. After the chromatogram was developed it was observed that the aspirin had travelled almost to the top of the plate, whereas the caffeine was much lower. Compared to caffeine, aspirin is adsorbed (attracted to)
