To determine the atomic mass of aluminum nitrate (Aluminum nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula Al(NO3)3), we need to calculate it based on the individual atomic masses of its constituent elements.

The atomic masses of the elements involved are as follows (rounded to two decimal places):

Aluminum (Al): 26.98 g/mol
Nitrogen (N): 14.01 g/mol
Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol
Now, let's calculate the atomic mass of aluminum nitrate (Al(NO3)3):

Atomic mass of Al(NO3)3 = (Atomic mass of Al) + 3 * (Atomic mass of N) + 9 * (Atomic mass of O)

Atomic mass of Al(NO3)3 = 26.98 g/mol + 3 * 14.01 g/mol + 9 * 16.00 g/mol

Atomic mass of Al(NO3)3 = 26.98 g/mol + 42.03 g/mol + 144.00 g/mol

Atomic mass of Aluminum nitrate (Al(NO3)3) = 213.01 g/mol

So, the atomic mass of aluminum nitrate is approximately 213.01 grams per mole.
