The chemical potential of O for the coexistence of Ni + NiO and Ni + Cr[sub 2]O[sub 3] + NiCr[sub 2]O[sub 4] equilibria has been measured employing solid-state galvanic cells, (+) Pt, Cu + Cu[sub 2]O [vert bar][vert bar] (Y[sub 2]O[sub 3])ZrO[sub 2] [vert bar][vert bar] Ni + NiO, Pt (-) and (+) Pt, Ni + NiO [vert bar][vert bar] (Y[sub 2]O[sub 3])ZrO[sub 2] [vert bar][vert bar] Ni + Cr[sub 2]O[sub 3] + NiCr[sub 2]O[sub 4], Pt (-) in the temperature range of 800 to 1,300 K and 1,100 to 1,460 K, respectively. The electromotive force (emf) of both he cells was reversible, reproducible on thermal cycling, and varied linearly with temperature. for the coexistence of the two-phase mixture of Ni + NiO, [Delta][mu][sub O[sub 2]](Ni + NiO) = [minus]470,768 + 171.77T ([+-]20) J/mol (800 [le] T [le] 1,300 K) and for the coexistence of Ni + Cr[sub 2]O[sub 3] + NiCr[sub 2]O[sub 4], [Delta][mu][sub O[sub 2]](Ni + Cr[sub 2]O[sub 3] + NiCr[sub 2]O[sub 4]) = [minus]523,190 + 191.07T ([+-]100) J/mol (1,100 [le] T [le] 1,460 K). The third law analysis of the present results for Ni + NiO gives the value of [Delta]H[degree][sub 298] = [minus]239.8 ([+-]0.05) kJ/mol, which is independent of temperature, for the formation of one mole of NiO from its elements. This is in excellent agreement with the calorimetric enthalpy of formation of NiO reported in the literature.
