Answer:

Zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

The question require us to calculate the mass of nitrogen present in aluminium carbonate.

This can easily be calculated using Avogadro's number as a constant with some minor calculations but however in this case, we can't because there's no single atom of nitrogen present in aluminium carbonate hence we can't calculate the mass of nitrogen present in it.

Chemical formula of aluminium carbonate = Al₂(CO₃)₃.

From the above chemical formula, we can see that there's no single atom of nitrogen present in the formula hence the mass of nitrogen present in aluminium carbonate that contains 1.23×10²³ carbon atoms is zero.
