\ Abstract of the Disclosure A method for measuring an activity of a solute element M in molten metal comprises steps of measuring an electromotive force El corresponding oxygen content of the molten metal by means of a solid electrolyte having oxygen ion conductivity and measuring temperature T of the molten metal, also measuring the electromotive force E2 corresponding to manganese content of the molten metal by means of a solid electrolyte having oxygen ion conductivity and coated with MnO, and obtaining the manganese activity aMn on the basis of the measured electromotive forces El, E2 and the measured temperature T. Another activity measuring method comprises steps of measuring the temperature T and solidifying temperature Ts of molten metal, obtaining the carbon concentration [C] of the molten metal on the basis of the solidifying temperature Ts, also measuring the manganese electro- motive force E2 in the molten metal by means of a solid electrolyte having oxygen ion conductivity and coated with MnO, and obtaining the manganese activity aMn on the basis of the measured electromotive force E2, the carbon concentration [C], and the measured temperature T. An Mn sensor electrode comprises a solid electrolyte surrounding a reference and having oxygen ion conduc- tivity, and a coating layer composed of MnO or a composite oxide thereof and covering the outer periphery of the solid electrolyte. The MnO or the composite oxide for the coating layer has a composition such that two or more balance portions A, B, C, D are provided for an electromotive force E1, E2 measured by an electro- motive force measuring circuit, the electromotive force E1, E2 being defined by the manganese activity aMn in the first one A, C of the balance portions, and by the oxygen activity aO in the molten metal in the last balance portion B, D.
