How many mls equals a unit?

Answer 1

The unit of volume in the metric system is the litre.

The milli- prefix means one thousandth (1/1000 = 0.001)

→ 1 ml = 0.001 l

The SI unit of volume is 1 cu m = 1000 l = 1,000,000 ml

→ 1 ml = 0.000001 cu m

A unit of alcohol is 10 ml

so 1 ml of alcohol = 0.1 units (of alcohol).

The number of units of alcohol in a ml of drink depends upon the concentration of alcohol in the drink, which is usually now given in %ABV which is "percentage of alcohol by volume". To convert %ABV to units per ml, work out the percentage of 0.1 (as 100 %ABV (pure alcohol, which is practically impossible to get in a drink) would be 0.1 units/ml). The %ABV gives you the number of units in a litre of the drink.

eg bottle of wine at 12% ABV would have 12% of 0.1 units/ml = 12 % × 0.1 units/ml = 0.012 units/ml

Thus a 125 ml glass of 12 %ABV wine would contain 125 × 0.0125 units/ml = 1.5 units of alcohol.

Answer 2

0.01 Ml = One Unit. In measuring of insulin you may be asked to take 2 Units of Insulin, this means to take 0.02 mL of Insulin.

Answer 3

1 mL is equal to 0,001 L; the litre is a unit of volume only "accepted" by the metric system.
The volume unit in SI is the cubic metre.
