To convert milliliters to liters, you need to know the conversion factor between these two units of volume. The basic conversion is:
- 1 liter (l) = 1000 milliliters (ml)
Given that you have a sample volume of 25 milliliters, you can convert this to liters by using the following formula:
Volume in liters (l) = Volume in milliliters (ml) / 1000
Now, plug in the values:
Volume in liters (l) = 25 ml / 1000 = 0.025 l
Therefore, the volume of the 25 milliliters sample of water is:
0.025 liters
This conversion is valuable in many scientific contexts where water measurements are required in liters rather than milliliters. Remember, for any future conversions, simply divide the milliliters by 1000 to get the equivalent volume in liters.
