Litres are the SI unit of volume. In everyday chemistry, a litre is quite a large volume. Most standard beakers cannot hold even half a litre. For smaller volumes, millilitres (ml) are used. There are 1000ml in 1 litre, so 400ml is the same as 0.4 litres.

Answer

SI does not distinguish between solid and liquid volumes, so the SI unit for the volume of anything is the cubic metre. While the litre is a metric unit, it is NOT an SI unit
