Percy prepares vegetable curry (liquid) in a pressure cooker. If the raw potatoes are P, the raw tomatoes are T, the raw onions are O, and the cooked meal is M, then 2P + T + O 3M may represent the cooking process. Sometime during the process, Manu opens the lid and checks the curry to find that the potatoes are half-cooked (take XP = 0.5). Volume of the cooker is 5L and CPo = CTo = COo = 1.5. What can you say about the composition in the cooker at the instant of time when the lid is opened, if initial temperature was 310K?
