Answer

$63.7\ mL$

Work Step by Step

By the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: $pH=pKa+\log([HC_2O_4^-]/[H_2C_2O_4])$ $pKa=4.19$ $4.70=4.19+\log([HC_2O_4^-]/[H_2C_2O_4])$ $\log([HC_2O_4^-]/[H_2C_2O_4])=0.51$ $[HC_2O_4^-]/[H_2C_2O_4]=3.236$ $[H_2C_2O_4]=(0.100\ M\times 0.100\ L - 0.120\ M\times V)\div(0.100\ L+V)$ $[HC_2O_4^-]=0.120\ M\times V\div(0.100\ L+V)$ $[HC_2O_4^-]/[H_2C_2O_4]=0.120\ M\times V\div(0.100\ M\times 0.100\ L - 0.120\ M\times V)$ $3.236(0.01-0.12V)=0.12V$ $0.032=0.508V$ $V=0.064\ L = 63.7\ mL$
