Diatomic oxygen is composed out of two oxygen atoms. Each oxygen atom has a molar weight of 1616 "g/mol"g/mol, which means that the O_2O2 molecule will have a molar weight of 2 * 16 = 32216=32 "g/mol"g/mol.

One mole is defined as the weight of exactly 6.022 * 10^236.0221023 atoms or molecules, depending on the substance.

1 mole of OO has 6.022 * 10^236.0221023 atoms of OO and weighs 16 grams.
1 mole of O_2O2 has 6.022 * 10^236.0221023 molecules of O_2O2 and weights 32 grams.
