Thermal Physics ( Kittel & Kroemer)| CO poisoning (solved problem)

Thermal Physics ( Kittel & Kroemer)| CO poisoning (solved problem)
Here is the first of the worked problems from the Thermal Physics textbook by Kittel & Kroemer.
We use this textbook in our Classical Thermodynamics class, though it is more an intro to statistical physics, it feels like.
The problem is solved by using the definition of the Gibbs factor and the Gibbs Sum, as well as absolute activity and fractional occupancy formulas.
To understand the problem it's important to consider all possible states that the system (human body in this case) can be found in.
I like that the problems in this textbook are very applied.
In later videos, I will be attempting to upload some more of the interesting problems with solutions.

I just realized that the part b of the problem was likely done incorrectly. As soon as I’m done with the midterm in two days, I will post a correction. Likely a separate video and link in the description to it. I think leaving the incorrect solution might be valuable in a sense as to show how NOT to solve this problem! The Issue is in the definition of the binding energy.

What I know as Gibbs factor is " N! " to differentiate distinguishable and indistinguishable particles. But what you wrote there is just the normalized probability distribution. Maybe kitten has a different way of explaining the concept s.. I've never study from kittel.
