22.4 litres of any gas simply means one mole of that gas.
(as it is also said that 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 litres of volume)
it is given 5/3(22.4) which means 5/3 moles of a mixture of O2 and O3 is present at STP.
let us consider 'x' as the number of moles of oxygen ......hence '(5/3-x)' becomes number of moles of ozone.
molecular weights of O2 and O3 are 32 and 48 respectively.
now,
32(x) + 48(5/3 - x) = 64
32x + 80 - 48x = 64
16x = 16
x = 1
therefore 1 mole of oxygen is present in the mixture which is 22.4 litres of O2 at STP.
