diatomic

For C6H12O6, how many grams of oxygen should I put into my oxygen tank?
My teacher said the solution is (O6)2=96*2=192g.
He said we times 2 because oxygen is a diatomic gas,  but i thought 2 is included in O6 already. (O3)2..

How about CO2? Do we need to times 2 as well? It should be included in my opinion.

Is this for a combustion of the molecule?  For an experiment?
