I am reviewing the book Biochemistry Concepts and Connections by Appling, Cahill, and Mathews and I cannot understand why they divide by the hydrogen concentration by $10^{-7}$. Why not just leave it at the antilog(-8.1) over $\pu{1 M}$ like the other concentrations? I literally have see nothing else on the internet like this.
Why proton concentration is divided by 10⁻⁷?
