Ways to tell them apart:
Although and whereas both create contrasts or comparisons, but they function differently in sentences.
Although
typically introduces a subordinate clause and implies that there is a particular outcome or fact that follows despite the information given.
Whereas
joins two clauses showing a direct contrast between two things, often used to discuss how two aspects differ.
If you are comparing two things directly,
whereas
is often more suitable.
Remember that
although
doesn't directly compare but rather sets up a situation and its unexpected outcome.
