It might be methane . Since it is mentioned that 1.6 g is present in the volume 2.24l, according to avagadros law molar mass of gas is contained in 22.4 l at STP therefore you need to multiply with 10 so that you get the molar mass as 16g CH4 mol.mass is 16 g hence methane is the gas present in the vessel
