Answer:
81.97 g of NaAl(OH)₄

Solution:
The reaction for the preparation of Sodium Aluminate from Aluminium Metal and NaOH is as follow,

2 NaOH + 2 Al + 6 H₂O → 2 NaAl(OH)₄ + 3 H₂

According to this equation,

2 Moles of NaOH produces = 163.94 g (2 mole) of NaAl(OH)₄
So,
1 Mole of NaOH will produce = X g of NaAl(OH)₄

Solving for X,
X = (1 mol × 163.94 g) ÷ 2 mol

X = 81.97 g of NaAl(OH)₄
