Because different substances have different densities. For example, if you knew a reaction produced a gas, you could work out what volume this would be, and you could design your apparatus to prevent any pressure build-up. Also, sometimes it is easier to measure liquids by volume in a measuring cylinder or pipette than it would be to put them on a weighing machine. For example, some liquids are unstable when exposed to air, and so it is easiest to measure them by syringe.

What is the difference in an engine that is 3L or 3.5L?

Engines are often measured by the volume inside their cylinders. This is measured in liters. The difference between a 3L and a 3.5L is simply that the 3.5L has an extra half liter of cylinder volume than the 3L.
