Answer

$1.5\;g$.

Work Step by Step

The given values are Base $B=1.5\;L$. Rate $R=(1:1000)100=0.1$. Let the pure epinephrine is $P=x$. The formula is $\Rightarrow \frac{P}{B}=\frac{R}{100}$ Substitute all the values. $\Rightarrow \frac{x}{1.5\;L}=\frac{0.1}{100}$ Cross multiply. $\Rightarrow 100x=0.15\;L$ Divide both sides by $100$. $\Rightarrow x=0.0015\;L$. Convert $L$ to $g$. $\Rightarrow x=0.0015\;L\times \frac{1000g}{1L}$. Simplify. $\Rightarrow x=1.5\;g$.
