Expert Answer

Answer

Peak at 3337 is due to O-H stretch ; 3061 is because of aromatic =C-H stretch ;peak at 2964 corresponds to sp3 C-H;and 1687 is due to carbonyl group of carboxylic acid ;1610 corresponds to aromatic C=C stretch and 1020 is due to C-O stretch.

So compound has benzene ring and COOH group.
