How can I know what a 1921 peace dollar looks like?

All Peace dollars have the same design. The difference between the 1921 Peace Dollar and the 1921 Morgan dollar is that Liberty looks completely different. In the more common 1921 Morgan dollar, Liberty wears a crown with the word "LIBERTY" on it, on the reverse of the Morgan dollar, there is an eagle with olive branches and arrows in its talons along with a wreath under it. On the Peace Dollar, Liberty looks like she has rays coming out of her head and on the reverse there is an Eagle sitting on a rock inscribed "PEACE", there is no wreath on the reverse.

A 1922 dollar with the word "Peace" on the back would be a Peace dollar rather than a Morgan dollar. "Morgan" refers to George T. Morgan, the artist who designed the silver dollars minted from 1878 to 1904 and in 1921. There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1922 US silver dollar?"

What is the difference between a Morgan silver dollar and a liberty silver dollar?

You've got to be more specific. All dollar coins prior to the Eisenhower dollar of 1971-1978 feature Liberty on them, even the Morgan dollar (called that because the artist who designed it had a last name of Morgan). The most commonly confused silver dollar types are the Morgan and Peace dollars because they share a date, 1921, where the Morgan dollar is quite common but the Peace dollars command quite a bit more money. The easiest way to determine the two is to look on the reverse, on a Morgan dollar the eagle will have its wings outstretched and is encircled by a wreath. On a Peace dollar, the eagle will be perched on a rock inscribed "PEACE". The front of the coins have noticeable differences too, but are much harder to describe in text than the reverse.

A Peace dollar has a personification of Liberty with rays of light coming out of her head. The reverse of a Morgan dollar has an Eagle with arrows and an olive branch and a wreath under it. The reverse of a Peace dollar features a perched eagle sitting on a rock inscribed "PEACE". Without knowing the type of coin, it is impossible to state a value.
