I sometimes have a bunch of tabs opened in Google Chrome, which I believe creates a new process per tab. I would like to be able to identify the tab that is using up the CPU.

Is there an easy way to to that?

Pressing Shift + Esc on Windows or Linux, will bring up the Chrome Task Manager with a row for each tab - you can sort by Memory, CPU and a couple of other columns.

Alternatively on all OSes, you can find it through: Menu button → Tools → Task Manager.

Chrome also has a more detailed task manager that can be accessed by right click in the title bar and select "Task Manager" (or Shift-ESC). You can see which tabs or extensions are using the most CPU or the most memory and switch too them.
