    CO₂

    Explanation:

    We substract the mass of the empty flask from the mass of the flask + gas in order to calculate the mass of the gas:

    97.37 g - 92.01 g = 5.36 g

    The moles of this gas (n) can be expressed as:

    n = 5.36 g : M

    Where M is the molar mass.

    We can calculate n using PV=nRT:

    P = 3.00 atm V = 1 L T = 27 °C ⇒ 27+273.16 = 300.16 K

    3.00 atm * 1L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 300.16 K

    n = 0.122 mol

    Now we can calculate the molar mass of the gas:

    n = 5.36 g : M

    0.122mol = 5.36 g : M M = 43.9 g/mol ≅ 44 g/mol

    Thus, the gas is most likely CO₂.
