The pH in a lake the size of 2.0 km X 10.0 km and an average depth of 100m is found to be 4.5. Calculate the mass of calcium carbonate that must be added to the lake water in order to raise its pH to 6.0, assuming the reaction of H+ with CaCO3 gives CO2 here (answer in grams).

Hint: Calculate volume of lake, change of H+ concentration, mol of calcium carbonate required.

The lecture notes  can't help me solve this one. Thanks for any help!
