Well....the volume should be COMPRESSED down to approx. 100mL.

Explanation:

According to old Boyle's law, P1V1=P2V2 at constant T.

We know that 1atm of pressure will support a column of mercury that is 760mm high....and we can use a mercury column as a measurement of pressure on this basis......

We solve for V2=P1V1P2

=8.45mmHg760mmHgatm1×4.60L368mmHg760mmHg=??L.

0.1056L

Explanation:

Using the Ideal Gas Laws,
P1V1T1=P2V2T2, so at constant temperature we have

P1V1=P2V2 ; P1V1P2=V2

V2=8.45×4.60368 ; V2=0.1056L
