Why is it helpful to know how much carbon monoxide (CO) was produced, even though silicon is the product being collected for industrial use?

My guess would be that the CO can serve as a way to confirm the yield of the reaction and so give you an idea of how much SiO2 you should expect to collect. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
