Explain the relation between Liter,dm3 and mL
Solution
litre is the unit of volume in the metric system which is equal to one cubic decimetre. Cubic decimeter is a metric unit of capacity, defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water under standard conditions. One milliliter is equal to one thousandth of a liter, or 1 cubic centimeter.
Complete answer:
Kilogram was first established in 1795 as the mass of one cubic decimetre of water at the at the temperature of melting ice (0 ∘C), one liter of liquid water has a mass of approximately precisely one kilogram. This connection is no longer precise due to subsequent redefinitions of the metre and kilogram.
A metric unit of volume, the liter (SI symbols L) is a metric unit of volume. 1 cubic decimetre (dm3), 1000 cubic centimetres (cm3), or 0.001 cubic metre (m3). A cubic decimetre (or liter) is equal to one-thousandth of a cubic meter and has a volume of 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm.
When measured at its maximum density, which occurs at around4 ∘C, one litre of water weighs approximately precisely one kilogramme. As a result, 1000th of a litre of water, also known as one millilitre (1 mL), has a mass of around 1 g, while 1000 litres of water has a mass of about 1000 kg (1 tonne or megagram). This connection holds because the gram was initially defined as the mass of 1 mL of water; however, because the density of water fluctuates with temperature and, very slightly, with pressure, this definition was abandoned in 1799.
We know that 1dm3=1L
1 dm3=(1×10−1m)3
Also
1L ≡ 1dm3≡ 1000cm3≡106ml
1ml = 10 - 3 L
1L = 1000 ml
Hence to conclude we can deduce the relationship as
1L = 1000 ml and 1dm3=1L
Note:
Despite the fact that the litre is not an official SI unit, it can be used with SI prefixes. The millilitre, which is defined as one-thousandth of a litre and is also known by the SI derived unit name "cubic centimeter," is the most often used derived unit. It is a widely used unit of measurement in a variety of fields, including medical, cuisine, and automobile engineering.
