Answer:

9-10 ppm.

0.2-0.4 ppm.

Explanation:

The proton on the aldehyde group will appear at approximately 9-10 ppm whereas the methylene peak on the alcohol is the only peak 0.2-0.4 ppm for either compound. Aldehydes and aromatics are quite distinctive in the Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Aldehydes show up from 9-10 ppm, usually as a small singlet; aromatic protons show up from 6.5-8.5 ppm. NMR spectroscopy is the use of NMR to study the physical, chemical, and biological properties of matter.
