Question
  1. Please provide the IR, 1H NMR and UV Spectra values of Benzoic Acid, 3-bromo-, methyl ester. And discuss how the results were obtain. 

For example the result for 3-(3-methoxyphenyl) propanoic acid would be written like this:

1 H NMR spectrumd (ppm in CDCI3 at 60 MHZ: 11.75 (Singlet, 1H, #7), 7.40-7.23 (Multiplet, 1H, #2), 6.85 (quartet, 3H, #1-3-6), 3.86 (Singlet, 3H, #5), 3.15-2.53 (Multiplet, 4H, #9-8).

The discussion would be like this: 

the unknown molecule contained 12H. Revealing the presence of a peak of medium intensity at 11.75 ppm that we can associate with a carbocyclic acid. It also showed a high intensity peak at 3.86 ppm that we can associate with an ether, an alcohol or an amino group. Since the signal also shows that 3 protons are attached to it, it is therefore considered an ether (OCH3) in the unknown molecule. We also see two average peaks around 7.23 ppm and 6.85 ppm which show the presence of an aromatic.
