Look on the paint tin.
Different paints have different coverage which also depends on the surface being painted: its porosity, preparation and so on.

It depends on the paint, and the surface that you are painting - including its preparation.
The coverage of paint can vary based on the type and brand, but a general estimate is that 1 liter of paint covers about 10 to 12 square meters. Therefore, 16 liters of paint would typically cover approximately 160 to 192 square meters. It's always best to check the specific paint can for coverage details, as it may differ.
About 8 liters for a smooth to semi smooth surface
Paint coverage depends on the type of paint (acrylic, alkyd, enamel, latex, etc.), the texture and absorbency of the surface to be painted, and the type of application (brush, roller, or spray). A first coat of paint usually requires more paint than a second or third coat because it reduces absorbency by making the surface smoother. Most paint manufacturers specify coverage for their paint to be somewhere around 8.6 square meters per liter, so it would probably take about 1.5 liters to cover 12.15 meters with a single coat.
