kg/molThe molar mass of carbon dioxide, 44.009 g/mol — the conversion that turns tonnes of burnt carbon into tonnes of CO₂ emitted.

Molar Mass of Dioxygen measured

M(O2)=0.031998 kg/molM(\mathrm{O_2}) = 0.031998\ \text{kg/mol}

kg/molThe molar mass of molecular oxygen, 31.998 g/mol — the basis of every stoichiometric air requirement in combustion calculations.
