Lakes that have been acidified by acid rain can be neutralized by the addition of limestone how much limestone in kilograms would be required to completely neutralize a 5.2 x 10^7 -L lake containing 5.0 x 10^(-3) g of H2SO4 per liter.

Question

Lakes that have been acidified by acid rain can be neutralized by the addition of limestone how much limestone in kilograms would be required to completely neutralize a 5.2 x 10^7 -L lake containing 5.0 x 10^(-3) g of H2SO4  per liter.

This is a stoichiometry problem. The equation is
CaCO3 + H2SO4 ==> CaSO4 + CO2 + H2O
If you need a refresher on stoichiometry, here is a solved example.
