text: The acid dissociation constant (pK a ) values of all alkanes are estimated to range from 50 to 70, depending on the extrapolation method, hence they are extremely weak acids that are practically inert to bases (see: carbon acids).
text: Alkanes are chemically very inert apolar molecules which are not very reactive as organic compounds.
