The ratio R = [Cr(VI)]/[Cr(III)] has been measured in a Na2O . 1.2SiO(
2) . 1.2B(2)O(3) melt at 1000 degrees C by spectrophotometry and by el
ectrochemistry as a function of the partial pressure of oxygen in the
gaseous atmosphere above the melt. Spectrochemical and electrochemical
determinations are in quite good agreement and fit the linear relatio
nship between log R and log P(O-2) which is predicted by a thermodynam
ic development. This double agreement gives a good degree of confidenc
e to in situ high temperature electrochemical measurements in oxide me
lts.
