Expert Solution
Step 1

Given , 

1 compound has carboxylic acid and alcohol while 2nd has ether and aldehyde functional groups. 

Major difference in this , in carboxylic acid we get peaks for carbonyl and oh stretching which is absent in ether.

While in ether we get peaks for c-o-c stretching which is absent in carboxylic acid.
