Can someone help me on figuring out the pK for ionization constants: K=1.8x10^-5. We haven't learned this in class yet.

"p" stands for "-log" so pK is the same as -logK. More specifically in this case, pK = -log(1.8E-5) which is 4.745

Ohh! Ok. Thank you so much!! So that's why pH is -log[H+] too, right?

Yes
