#165.01# grams.

Start with the chemical formula of aluminum nitrite:

#"Al"("NO"_2)_3#

Figure out how much of each element you have:

#"Al "=1#
#"N "=3#
#"O "=6#

And multiply that by the atomic mass of each element:

#"Al "=1*26.98=26.98 " g"#
#"N "=3*14.01=42.03 " g"#
#"O "=6*16.00=96.00 " g"#

Finally, add up all of those values to get your final answer:

#26.98+42.03+96.00=color(red)(165.01)#
