aC (kg·m−3) is the specific concentration of AC in the THF solvent. Standard uncertainties (u) are u(T) = 0.001 K for ρ and c and u(T) = 0.01 K for nD, and the combined expanded uncertainties (Uc) are Uc(ρ) = 0.01 kg·m−3, Uc(c) = 0.05 m·s−1 (level of confidence = 0.95, k = 2), and Uc(nD) = 0.00001.
