When it overflows 1.21x10^8 1s-1 exits, how can I show that the mass of water leaving the lake is 1.22x10^8 kg? Density - 1012 kg m-3 g = 9.81ms-2 Thanks.

There is still a lot of confusion. How can 1.21 x 10^8 /s exit? That's a frequency, not an amount. Are you trying to say that water leaves the lake at a rate of 1.21 x 10^8 kg/s?

Can you please post the whole question?

I'm assuming the units in bold are liters per second ... $Ls^{-1} = L/s$

$(1.21 \times 10^8 \, L/s) \, \cdot (10^{-3} \, m^3/L) \, \cdot (1012 \, kg/m^3) \, = 1.22 \times 10^8 \, kg/s$

... note the water leaving the lake is a rate of kg per second, not just kg.
