Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a component of acid rain that forms when SO₂, a pollutant, reacts with oxygen and water according to the simplified reaction:

The generation of the electricity used by a medium-sized home produces about 25 kg of SO₂ per year. Assuming that there is more than enough O₂ and H₂O, what mass of H₂SO₄, in kg, can form from this much SO₂?
