What is epinephrine's density?

This depends on how the epinephrine is packaged as a medication. The two most common dilutions of epinephrine are 1:1,000 and 1:10,000, but this is not the density. Density: Epinephrine that is 1:1,000 has a density of 1mg/ml. Epinephrine that is 1:10,000 has a density of 0.1mg/ml. (Density = mass/volume) (Here the mass is in milligrams and the volume in milliliters.) -Chemistry!
