Under normal conditions, the human adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine (C₂H₁NO3) at a rate sufficient to maintain a concentration of 10-10 M in circulating blood. To appreciate what that concentration means, calculate the volume of water that you would need to dissolve 1.0 g (about 1 teaspoon) of epinephrine to a concentration equal to that in blood.
