9) For carbon dioxide, Dempsey explains that:
It may be seen from the above reactions that as carbon monoxide is
oxidized to carbon dioxide, electrons are released which flow in the
external circuit and hydrogen ions are transported through the
electrolyte (along with some water molecules) to the counter electrode
and are reduced there to form molecular hydrogen or water. The
current flowing in the external circuit as a result of this rapid
oxidation of carbon monoxide is thus directly proportional to the
carbon monoxide concentration.
