Answer 1

The present graph is a chromatogram of the Reaction mixture. Usually, the x-axis of the gas chromatogram is for retention time which shows that amount of time taken for the analytes to pass through the chromatographic column and reach the mass spectrometer detector. It is calculated as the time from injection to detection. The peaks that are shown in chromatogram correspond to the time at which each of the components reached the detector. The Y-axis of the chromatogram shows the area of peaks which is the amount of analyte present.

From Chromatogram, the first giant peak is due to a solvent which might be toluene. The other large peak comes around retention time at 12 and 15 might be two major product formation in reaction. The other peak also presents in chromatogram with less intensity which might be the formation of some other side product in the reaction.
