how to convert liters to volume

Solution

Liters (L) is already a unit of volume in the metric system. So, when converting liters, you're simply expressing volume in a different unit, depending on the system of measurement you're using. Here are a few common conversions for volume:

  1. Liters to Cubic Meters:
    1L=0.001m31 \, \text{L} = 0.001 \, \text{m}^3 (Since 1 liter equals 1 cubic decimeter, and there are 1000 liters in a cubic meter.)

  2. Liters to Cubic Centimeters (cc or cm³):
    1L=1000cm31 \, \text{L} = 1000 \, \text{cm}^3

  3. Liters to Milliliters (mL):
    1L=1000mL1 \, \text{L} = 1000 \, \text{mL}

  4. Liters to US Gallons:
    1L0.264172US gallons1 \, \text{L} \approx 0.264172 \, \text{US gallons}

  5. Liters to Cubic Inches:
    1L61.0237in31 \, \text{L} \approx 61.0237 \, \text{in}^3

Each of these conversions is simply changing how the volume is represented in different units, but the volume itself remains constant.
