Will a 5 litre bucket be enough for hydroponic

no. you will need to fill it up at least once a day maybe more when the plant gets big. and your pH will be hard to control
 
Do you mean 5 gallons instead of liters? Like this size? 5 liters is too small unless it's some kind of flood and drain system. If you're bubbling in a bucket DWC then 5 liters won't be a good idea.

"Will it be enough?" You never said what you intend to get out of it. I will be doing Hydro in a beer cup.
 
I don't think a 5L will be enough. This is my first grow, these are my roots at 2 months old in a 5 gallon bucket

Will this pump be ok
Not big enough you'll have far too many issues and once they're big enough they drink that within a couple of hours. I had 12 in 55 gal totes all rdwc and they would completely drain a 55 gal drum a day just about to the point of putting a float valve on it to automatically top the res off.

I had ten stand alone DWC in 5 gallon buckets with 8" net pots filled with hydroton. I'm never growing that way again. Too much damn work. Great yields and fast growth but I was a one man show with some flood tables going and a bunch of other stuff. The worst part was the trimming. I pulled many all nighters down in the basement by myself trimming weed. It sucked. I much prefer my small hobby grow today.
