As a reminder, the atomic mass of an atom equals the mass of a mole of this atom.

Just so you know, a mole is defined as a quantity of 6.02x10^{23} things.

We know that the atomic mass of Oxygen is 16 so one mole of O2's mass is 16*2=32g.

So I guess we need to figure out something which a mole of will weight 32 g.

You can pick Ethanol which formula is CH3OH.

C has an atomic mass of 12

H has an atomic mass of 1

O has an atomic mass of 16

So one mole of CH3OH weights 12 + (3*1) + 16+1=32g which is the same amount.

I'm going to assume that you mean't mole instead of mile. One mole of O2 has approximately the same mass of one "mole" of N2. I say this because if these elements were rounded by their atomic mass, N would stay as 14, O would round up to 16, and we wouldn't; in this case, O2 would have approximately the same mass as F because F rounds up to 19 and the different between O and N is only 2 while the difference between O and F is 3.
