Series of glass based on (80-x)TeO2-10PbO-10PbCl2-xYb2O3 where 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 3.0 has been successfully prepared by melt quenching technique. The amorphous nature of glass has been determined by X-ray diffraction method. Their corrosion behavior was investigated using the FTIR spectroscopy technique on the sample that has been immersed in distilled water and in aqueous solution of pH 4 and pH 9 for 10 days. There were three major absorption peaks around 3600 cm-1, 889 cm-1 and 470 cm-1 has been observed. The intensity of each peak was found to vary with the Yb3+ content.
