Answer: Neon

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we'll use the ideal gas law, pV = nRT, to solve for the moles of unknown gas (n)

So putting all the values we get:

2.00 x 5.60 = n x 0.0821 x 273

n x 0.0821 x 273 = 2 x 5.60

22.4133n = 11.2

n = 0.499 moles

So the molar mass of the gas will be 10.1/0.499

= 20.24 g/mol

The molar mass corresponds to Neon gas. Therefore, the identity of the gas is Neon
