Ozone (O₃) reacts with iodide (I^-) and water to form iodine (I₂), hydroxide (OH^-), and oxygen (O₂). What is the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced reaction equation? O₃ + I^- + H₂O $\rightarrow$ I₂ + OH^- + O₂

The balanced chemical equation is O3 + 2I^- + H2O → I2 + 2OH^- + O2. The sum of the stoichiometric coefficients is 1 (O3) + 2 (I^-) + 1 (H2O) + 1 (I2) + 2 (OH^-) + 1 (O2) = 8.
