As a result of the electrochemical reaction, an electro-
motive force (EMF) is generated according to Nernst's
equation:
EMF = E
–
C
(2F)ln(P(CO
Where:
E
– Constant value
C
R
– Gas constant
T
– Temperature (K)
F
– Faraday constant
P(CO
) – Partial pressure of CO

By monitoring the electromotive force (EMF) generated
between the two electrodes, it is possible to measure
CO
.
