Liters to Milliliters
Nov 30, 2022, 16:45 IST
Milliliters and Liters are metric units of volume used to measure the capacity of a liquid. Liquid volume can be measured in milliliters, centiliters, liters, and kiloliters. Although all these units represent the same quantity, their values are different. In this article, we will discuss the relationship between liters and milliliters and the conversion between these units.

Liters
A Liter is a unit of volume that is accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI) but is not technically an SI unit. 1 liter is equal to 1 cubic decimeter (dm3), 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm3), or 1/1,000 cubic meter (m3). It is denoted by L.
History of Liters
In between 1901 and 1964, the liter was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water under conditions of maximum density at atmospheric pressure. However, given that the relationship between the mass and volume of water is based on several factors that can be difficult to control (temperature, pressure, purity, isotopic uniformity), as well as the finding that the prototype kilogram was somewhat too large (making the liter equal 1.000028 dm3 rather than 1 dm3), the definition of liter has been reverted to its previous and current definition.
Uses of Liters
The liter measures many volumes of liquids and labels containers containing liquids. It is commonly used to measure certain non-liquid volumes, such as the size of car trunks, computer cases, backpacks and climbing packs, microwaves, refrigerators, and recycling bins, as well as to express the volumes and prices of fuel in most countries around the world.
Milliliter
A Milliliter is a unit of volume accepted for use in the International System of Units (SI). One milliliter equals one cubic centimeter (cm3), 1/1,000,000 cubic meters (m3), or 1/1000 of a liter.
History of Milliliters
The base unit of the milliliter is the liter (US spelling), which is spelled "liter" in terms of SI. The word "liter" was derived from the French metric system and the term "litron," one of the older versions of the French liter. See the liters page for more details.
Uses of Milliliters
Milliliters measure the volume of many smaller containers in everyday use, such as drinks, glasses, juice and milk cartons, yogurts, plastic bottles, cans, toothpaste tubes, perfume/cologne bottles, etc. Many measuring devices, such as cylinders, beakers, pipettes, measuring cups, etc., also use milliliter measurements.
How to Convert Liters to Milliliters?
1 liter is equal to 1000 ml, so the conversion factor used to convert liters to milliliters is 1000.
To convert liters to milliliters, we have to multiply the given amount by 1000. For example, we convert 7 liters to milliliters. So 7 × 1000 = 6000 ml. So 7 liters = 7000 milliliters.
Therefore, it should be noted that to convert milliliters to liters, we have to divide the given amount by 1000. For example, we convert 7000 milliliters to liters. So 7000 ÷ 1000 = 7 liters. So 7000 milliliters = 7 liters.

Solved Examples
Q1. Convert the following.
- 25 L to mL
- 18 L to mL
- 13 mL to grams
- 1 Liter to kg
Ans.
- 25 L = 25 × 1,000 = 25,000 mL
- 18 L = 18 × 1,000 = 18,000 mL
- 13 mL = 13 × 1 = 13 g
- 1 L = 1 × 1 = 1 kg
Q2. Rose purchased a hand sanitizer. The bottle contains 2,500 ml of liquid content. How can this be expressed in liters?
Ans. 2,500 ml = 2,500 ÷ 1,000 = 2.5 l
Q3. Jane bought 3 cans of orange juice of 1 liter each. He drank 1,500 mL of juice. How much ml of juice is left in the cans?
Ans.
1 can = 1 liter
3 cans = 3 liter
3 cans had = 3 × 1,000 = 3,000 ml of orange juice
The quantity of juice left = 3,000 ml - 1,500 ml = 1,500 ml
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. How many ml in a liters?
Ans. 1 Liter = 1000 ml
Q2. Is 1 L is Same as 750 ml?
Ans. No, 1L = 1000 ml and 750 ml = 0.75 l.
Q3. What is 1 Liter of water in ml?
Ans. 1 Liter of water is equal to 1000 ml of water.
Q4. How many ml go into a litre?
Ans. 1 litre is equal to 1,000 milliliters, which is the conversion factor from liters to milliliters. Now, convert your own value of l to ml in the converter below. For other conversions in volume, use the volume conversion tool.
Q5. Is 250ml half a litre?
Ans. 250ml is equal to one quarter of a Liter. So, 500ml is equivalent to half a Liter. To convert liters to milliliters, you have to multiply the Liter value by 1000.
