have been obtained from electromotive force (EMF) measurements, in the temperature range 950 to 1150 K, using the following galvanic cells with CaF 2 single crystals as the electrolyte:Cr, CrF 2 |CaF 2 | CrF 2 , Cr 3 C 2 , C (950 to 1150 K) Extreme precautions were taken during the experimental measurements to avoid errors. The reliability and reproducibility of the values were confirmed by careful repetition of several of the experiments. The following equation has been obtained by a linear analysis of the EMF results as a function of temperature:The generated values are compared with those reported in the literature.The values of the enthalpy of formation were evaluated by using a third-law analysis, and an average value of was obtained. The ground-state energy of the hypothetic end-member compound CrC 3 in the bcc structure at 0 K was calculated by using the ab initio method. The experimental results obtained, as well as the results from the ab initio calculations, were employed in a reassessment of the Cr-C system using the CALPHAD approach. A new set of parameters for the bcc phase was evaluated using first-principles calculations.⌬ f H°2 98 ϭ Ϫ71.7 kJ>mol ⌬ f G°C r 3 C 2 (Ϯ1600) ϭ Ϫ58,857 Ϫ22.344T (J # mol Ϫ1 ) (950 to 1150 K)
