Is there an appreciable difference between cc and ml ?
My acid test kit contains a 12cc and 20cc syringe. Instructions call for titration of 15cc wine with 10cc .2 Sodium Hydroxide Books I have use ml in their tests. I presume the result is the same whichever measure is used. I can't find a reference that compares cc / ml. Just wondering.

They are one and the same

It's the simple things we stumble over -- and are so often embarrassed to ask about. ;o) Ray
Thanks Ray. Yes, the simple things. Without thinking about it very much I was having difficulty equating One-HUNDREDTH of a METER (cubic) with One-THOUSANDTH of a LITRE (a relatively large part of a big thing with a ralatively small part of a smaller thing) But, looking at my desk ruler, of course it does. LOL

Lest anyone become confused by this... one cc is not 1/100 of a cubic meter. :-)
Right. It's one _millionth_ of a cubic meter.

Right. And a liter is a cubic deciliter or 1/10 meter * 1/10 meter *
1/10 meter, or 1/1,000 of a cubic meter. So it should be obvious that 1/1,000 of a liter ( milliliter), is therefore 1/1,000,000 of a cubic meter ! ;-)I knew high school Chemistry would be good for something.
LOL !!! I was eye-balling, on my desk ruler, the volume that would be displaced by 1cm X 1cm X 1cm. (1cc). Looks sort of the same a 1ml... Hey! NOT 1/100 of a cubic meter. But, I guess, if we titrate 15/100 of a cubic meter of wine with
10/100 of a cubic meter of Sodium Hydroxide we will get the same result. Hmmm. Hard to measure those large volumes. Maybe that is why they use15cc/15ml and 10cc/10ml ...Cheers,

sorry it appears mixed up on the posting
To convert CC cubic centimeters to Milliliters Multiply by 0.999972. eg 12 cc = 11.999664 ml as near as dam it 12 Stephen
Wrong. You multiply by 1.000. A liter is by definition 1000 cc.
It's not just the appearance that's mixed up.
Still wrong. 12 cc = 12 ml. A liter is 1000 cc by definition and therefore 1 ml and 1 cc are *exactly* the same.
Well, not quite. A liter is a cubic decimeter not a cubic deciliter. You cannot cube a deciliter as it is a volume to begin with.
If you think about this stuff too much you will just confuse yourself.
Ray
Ya know Ray, you're absolutely right. I should have said "cubic decimeter". It's things like that that keep us humble. Well, me anyway.
This is all very interesting, I'm sure, but it's also completely irrelevant.
The _original_ definition of a liter was that volume of water at a specific temperature having a mass of one kilogram. But the definition was changed _over_forty_years_ago_. A liter is now _by_definition_ 1000 cc and therefore 1 cc and 1 ml are _absolutely_ identical.

One liter at 4 C is the same volume as one liter at 99 C or at any other temperature.
A liter is a liter, regardless of the temperature or the substance being measured. You don't seem to grasp this essential point: the definition of a liter no longer references (and has not referenced for many years) the volume of a specified mass of water at a specified temperature. It _used_ to, but not any more, not for a long time.
A liter is _by_definition_ one thousand cubic centimeters. Period.
Therefore 1 milliliter and 1 cubic centimeter are _absolutely_ identical. At all temperatures. At all pressures. For all substances.
