Thin glass bulbs made of commercial soda‐lime glass were electrolyzed in aqueous solution. Ratios of mobilities of sodium and hydronium ions in the glass were calculated and compared to results of inter diffusion experiments with these ions. The results showed that a combination of electrolysis and ion exchange measurements can be used to test theories of the diffusion‐controlled step in the reaction of water with glass, and that an interionic diffusion mechanism with complete ionization of the ions from SiO groups in the glass is the preferred mechanism.
