**Educational Content on Bubble-Point Calculations:**

**Problem Statement:**

Consider a liquid-phase mixture of 0.250 mol fraction ethanol and 0.750 mol fraction water at a pressure of 760.0 mmHg. Calculate the bubble-point temperature of the mixture and the composition of the vapor formed at this temperature using two different methods.

**First Method:**

Assume the solution behaves ideally and all components follow Raoult's Law. What is the bubble-point temperature of the solution?

- **T<sub>bp</sub> =** ______ °C

**Vapor Phase Composition:**

Determine the mole fractions of ethanol (e) and water (w) in the vapor phase at the bubble-point temperature.

- **y<sub>e</sub> =** ______ mol e/mol

- **y<sub>w</sub> =** ______ mol w/mol

**Note:** The inquiry requires knowledge of thermodynamics and Raoult's Law, assuming ideal behavior for accurate calculations.
