Answer #1

The complete disappearance of OH group (3400 - 3000 cm-1) in the product IR spectrum confirms the 100 % reaction completion. The sharp split peak at 1000 cm-1 possibly a C-O stretch of alcohol group had completely disappeared in the product IR spectrum is also an additional evidence of 100 % reaction completion.  In addition, the finger print region of starting material (500 - 1000 cm-1) has completely disappeared and new stretchings were observed in the product IR spectrum.
