Expert Solution

IR: Bromobenzene shows aromatic C-H(3050) and C=C(1640) peaks and C-Br (650) peak in fingerprint region while triphenylcarbinol shows aromatic C-H and C=C peaks and intense broad peak at 3500-3300 due to O-H bond

NMR: Bromobenzene shows a multiplet in the aromatic region 6.5-7.5 (5H) while triphenyl carbinol shows a little peak in the range 3.5-4.5 due to O-H proton in addition to aromatic protons(15H)

b) Bromobenzene is nonpolar while triphenyl carbinol is slightly polar due to presence of O-H group thus triphenyl carbinol moves slowly with a nonpolar eluting solvent (hexane) thus will have small Rf value than bromobenzene
