titration question

For the equation M1V1=M2V2 why is it that we can use ml instead of liters? Is there any cases where we have to convert ml into liters for these problems?

it doesnt matter when its in ml and L. If both of V have the same unit, you can cancel their units out.

You have to convert when they give you different unit for V, for example: V1 = x ml, V2= y (L). In this case, you have to convert mL to L or vice versa.

Can I always convert to L to keep it the same for any type of problem? I also remember converting mL to L in stoichiometry

it depends on whether the question wants you to convert mL to L or whatever.

For example, if the question gives you V1 = mL, and ask for how many L of V2 to do xxx? Then you know that you have to convert mL to L eventually.

YES. If it's more comfortable for you, keep all volumes in L.
