44 atomic mass units (amu's) = 44 grams/mole

Explanation:

In chemical stoichiometry the mole is defined as the mass of substance containing 1 Avogadro's Number (N_o) of particles. 1N_o = 6.023xx10^23 units. For CO_2 the weight (in grams) containing 1 N_o of CO_2 molecules = 44 grams (to 2 sig figs).
