Best Answer

Because cubic metres (m3) and millilitres (ml) have become the international standard units of measurement for solids & liquids. Wherever you go on the planet, a cubic metre and millilitre will always represent the same volume. Not so with imperial measurements.

Take the UK gallon and US gallon... the name is the same, but they represent different volumes ! In the UK, a gallon is approximately 4.5 litres, while in the US it's 3.8 for liquids and 4.4 for dry goods ! Having a 'standard' unit of measurement - be it length, weight or volume - means that, anywhere you go, you'll always know what quantities they represent.

What units is measured for density?

density = mass/volume Any unit for density should have a mass unit over a volume unit. Some examples include: kg/m3, g/cm3, g/mL.


What is the final volume of a gas with a volume of 75mL. if the pressure decreases from 300mL to 200 mL?

This question makes no sense because pressure is not measured in mL.


What are measures of density?

Density is mass/volume, which is a ratio of mass per unit of volume. The SI derived unit for density is kg/m3, but in chemistry it is measured primarily in g/cm3 or g/mL. 1cm3 = 1mL.
