The concentrations and behavior of oxygen and oxide ion were studied in silicate melts of composition CaO · MgO · x SiO 2 ( 1.25 x 3) in the temperature range 1425 to 1575°C by cyclic voltammetry and chronopotentiometry. Electroreduction of oxygen is a reversible, 2 electron process involving dissociated oxygen atoms. The Henry's Law constant for O 2 in molten diopside (CaO · MgO · 2SiO 2 ) is 0.023 ± 0.004 mole/l atm at 1450°C. The diffusion coefficient for molecular oxygen in diopside melt is 4.5 ± .5 × 10 -6 cm 2 /sec at 1450°C and the activation energy of diffusion is 80 ± 2 kcal/mole. Oxide ions produced by electroreduction of oxygen, rapidly dissociate silicate polymers, causing the concentration of free oxide ions in diopside melt to be buffered at a low level (4.7 ± .8 × 10 -5 mole/l). The concentration of free oxide ion increases at higher proportions of metal oxides but remains at this value in more silicic melts. The rate of formation of oxide ions by polymerization in diopside melt is 0.021 ± .007 mole/l sec. Thermodynamic parameters (the standard free energy, enthalpy and entropy) for the oxidation of Ni, Co, and Zn in diopside melt in equilibrium with gaseous oxygen agree with those for solid oxide systems. The platinum reference electrode in molten diopside is a reversible, oxygen electrode.
