O is what should go in the blank. O stands for Oxygen.
The loss or gain of electrons
Explanation:
The loss or gain of electrons determines if an atom will become a cation or anion.
A cation is a positively charge ion
An anion is a negatively charged ion.
In an atom, we have sub-atomic particles:
Protons are the positively charged particles
Electrons are negatively charged
Neutrons carry no charges
Only electrons can be lost or gained in chemical processes that forms cations and anions.
When a neutral atom gains electron, it has more electrons than protons. This makes it negatively charged and we call it an anion.
When a neutral atom loses an electron, the number of protons is more. We call it a cation.

Mole ratio :
<span>5 C</span>₆<span>H</span>₆<span>CHO + 2 KMnO</span>₄<span> + 6 H</span>⁺ <span>= 5 C</span>₆<span>H</span>₆<span>COOH + 2 Mn</span>²⁺<span> + 3 H</span>₂<span>O + 2 K</span>⁺
5 moles C₆H₆CHO ------------------ 2 moles KMnO₄
1.0 moles C₆H₆CHO ---------------- ( moles of KMnO₄ )
moles of KMnO₄ = 1.0 x 2 / 5
moles of KMnO₄ = 2 / 5
= 0.40 moles of KMnO4
hope this helps!
