How much is 0 mL?

This beaker is filled to the 0 mL mark, so it is empty.

In cubic centimetres

0 cm³

• There are 1,000 millilitres in a litre, so converting means dividing by 1,000: 0 ÷ 1000 = 0, which is 0 L.
• A millilitre and a cubic centimetre are the same volume, so 0 mL is also 0 cm³ — the reason a 1,000 cm³ cube holds exactly one litre.
• This beaker is empty. It is worth showing alongside the filled ones so students read the scale rather than assuming the liquid always starts somewhere above the bottom.
• Read a beaker at eye level and take the measurement from the bottom of the curved surface of the liquid, the meniscus — reading from above makes the volume look larger than it is.
