165.01 grams.

Explanation:

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)
