What initial concentration of HF (aq) in water would give a solution with a pH = 1.5?

I think the K value is missing... How could we solve this problem?

Hey there!
I'm sure you know the K of water - what you're looking for is the Ka value of HF. Have you not been given the value?
 
Is there a table of Ka values in your book?
