Problem involving dissolving of limestone

In a location in Florida, water seeping into the ground contains 50 times as much carbon dioxide as rainwater.  This ground water passes through a limestone deposit and ultimately into an underground spring.  The spring has a flow rate of 2500 liters per second.  How much limestone (CaCO3) in metric tons will be dissolved in this system in 1000 years?
