Explanation / Answer

IR Spectra 1

Benzyl alcohol

Band at 3400 cm-1 is due to hydroxy group streaching

Band at 3050 -3075 cm-1 is due to aromatic CH stretching

Band at 2850 - 2050 cm-1 is due to aliphatic -CH streaching

Band at 1450 and 1500 cm-1 is due to aromatic C=C streaching

Band at 700 cm-1 is due to aromatic CH bending

IR Spectra 2

Benzyl chloride

Band at 3050 - 3075 cm-1 is due to aromatic CH stretching

Weak band at around 2950 cm-1 is due to aliphatic -CH streaching

Band at 1450 and 1500 cm-1 is due to C=C streaching

Band at 710 cm-1 is due to C-Cl streaching
