Problem

In a vessel with water at a temperature of 20°C, 1 g of ice was placed, located at a temperature of 0°C in a sealed box. Determine how many times the probability of the process of turning ice into water is greater than the probability of the reverse process — the melted water in the box suddenly begins to give off heat to the surrounding water and turns into ice. The water temperature in the vessel practically does not change when the ice melts.
