Use ThermoSolver to determine the bubble-point temperature and composition of a liquid mixture of 0.2 mole fraction n-hexane, 0.25 cyclohexane, 0.25 benzene, and 0.3 toluene at 1 bar and at 20 bar, using

(a) Raoult’s law;

(b) liquid-phase nonideality, but keeping the gas ideal;

(c) the best answer that you can get. How do cases (a)–(c) compare at 1 bar? At 20 bar?
