Given the number of air molecules at z = 20 km as 1.7*1018 molecules/cm3 and  z=25 km as 8.7*1017 molecules/cm3 at a temperature of 288K. calculate the mixing ratio of ozone in ppm at 20 km and 25 km using the values of ozone concentration in molecules/cm3 (left side of Figure 2.6). State any assumptions you are making.
