I forget, why did Professor Lavelle switch from ln to log base 10 for the nernst equation.

Log base 10 makes it easier when you are working with acid-base solutions because pH is found using log base 10, so it's easier to find the concentration if they're both using the same form of a log

If I'm not mistaken, it's just a matter of preference.
