Answer #1

As per IR spectra, there are no prominent peaks from 1600-1750 (corresponding to carbonyl) and also in aromatic region.

So, the compound cannot be polystyrene, polycarbonate or polyacrylamide.

Peaks are prominent only for alkyl C-H stretch and peaks for C-Cl stretch at 900 - 800 cm-1 indicates that the sample is Polyvinyl chloride
