"its good start thanks for trying"
Response Details:
If you could provide some of the details  of the lab it may make it easier to identify the peaks.
It's been a while since i've tried to analysed IR spectrum but i think i've got it right:

For the first spectrum you have C=O at 1680cm-1 and possibly a C-O at 1180cm-1

For the second IR spectrum you have an O-H at 3400cm-1 and a C=O at 1600cm-1

Someone with a bit more practice may be able to help you more, but i guess this is a start.
hope it helps a little.
