In the SI the unit of volume is m3.
1 m3 = 1 ooo liters (L); but the liter is also accepted as a tolerated unit of volume.
CommentThe litre is not an SI unit, so it is neither a base nor a derived unit. It is a metric unit that may be used alongside SI units.

What is the Si base unit for energy?
There is no SI Base Unit for energy. The unit for energy, the joule is a Derived Unit.
What is the si base unit for capacity?
There is no SI base unit for capacity. In order to express capacity using SI units, you must resort to a derived unit, such as m³ or cm³ (cubic meters or cubic centimeters). In the metric system, the measurement of Liters (or Litres) may be used, but this is not an SI unit. One liter is equal to 1 dm³ (one cubic decimeter), which is a derived SI unit.
Is grams a base unit or a derived unit?
Neither. A gram is simply a submultiple of a kilogram, which is the SI base unit for mass.
Explain the difference between SI base units and derived units Give an example of each?
Derived units are units built up from SI base units. It has been found that relatively few base units are required. Typical derived units are m/sec (metres per second), sometimes written m.sec-1 for speed and joules/sec, sometimes written joules.sec-1 for power. Although the latter unit is a derived unit, it has its own name, the watt, for convenience. (Nonetheless, the people who govern the business of defining units have been scrupulous in defining it in terms of base units because it's possible.) New base units are defined when phenomena are encountered which simply cannot be measured in terms of existing base units or units derived from them.
What is a unit for liquid volume?
Yes, for the metric system the base unit of measurement for liquids is a liter. That is just the base unit. There are also all the "derived" units for example mL (milliliters) which are 1/1000th of a liter. Some common derived units are: Milliliter – ml Centiliter – cl Kiloliter – kl Now if you aren't using the metric system and are still using the U.S. Customary Units there are a few different units used to measure volume of liquid: Fluid ounce – fl. oz. Cup Pint Quart Liquid Gallon These are more difficult to convert from one unit to another.
From what unit is a measure of volume derived?
Liter because it's the base unit of volume
Is the cubic centimeter a base or derived unit?
yes, cubic centimeter is a derived unit.
What is the Si base unit for energy?
There is no SI Base Unit for energy. The unit for energy, the joule is a Derived Unit.
What is the derived SI unit that is equal to the non SI unit of volume the liter?
gallon
What is the difference between base unit and a derived united?
A base unitis a defined unit in a system of measurement that is based on an object or event in the physical world.A derived unit is a unit that is defined by a combination of base units.
Is meters per second a base unit?
No, it is a derived unit.
What is the base unit of mass?
The mass is obviously a base unit. From mass we can derive many units like momentum, force etc. But we cannot derive the unit of mass from any other unit. So, it's a base unit. Technically, mass is not a unit. In the most commonly used systems of units, MKS and cgs, units of mass (kilograms and grams, respectively), are base units.
What is the si base unit for capacity?
There is no SI base unit for capacity. In order to express capacity using SI units, you must resort to a derived unit, such as m³ or cm³ (cubic meters or cubic centimeters). In the metric system, the measurement of Liters (or Litres) may be used, but this is not an SI unit. One liter is equal to 1 dm³ (one cubic decimeter), which is a derived SI unit.
What is the SI base unit for Power?
There is no SI base unit for power.Power is measured in watts, which is a derived unit, not a base unit.A watt is equal to one joule (newton-meter) per second (J/s).
Is liter the base unit for volume in the metric system?
A derived unit is obtained from a combination of fundamental units. For example, a fundamental unit is a centimeter(cm). A derived unit is a cubic centimeter(cm3), or a cube that is a centimeter on each side. Derived units are used for measuring liquids. A liter is also a derived unit. s-1 is a derived unit too, even though it only consists of one fundamental unit.There is no such thing as an SI 'fundamental' unit. The term you are looking for is a 'base' unit. Taking this further, the SI base unit for length is the metre, not the centimetre. Derived units are combinations of base units -for example, a metre per second is a derived unit (for velocity), made up of the base units metre and second.
The si base unit for mass?
The SI unit of weight is the newton (N), which is a Derived Unit.
Is grams a base unit or a derived unit?
Neither. A gram is simply a submultiple of a kilogram, which is the SI base unit for mass.
