hydrochloric acid
"Alkane" is not a compound. It's a class of compounds. "Root or base name" is essentially meaningless in this context. In other words, your question cannot be answered.
Arrhenius acids are ones that give up protons when dissolved in water. Methane is a non-polar molecule which means it is insoluble in water and, therefore, is not an Arrhenius acid. It cannot be described as a Lewis acid or base either because it doesn't donate protons or an electron pair nor does it receive them.
An acid can turn into a base if you mix a much stronger base with it! That way the base acid overpowers the acid and makes the acid a base!
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid

A hydrocarbon such as an alkane can be made from a Kolbe electrolysis of the sodium salt of the carboxylic acid.

Flour is a base, not an acid.
It is a Base.
The base which a certain acid turns into.Every acid had a conjugate base:HX (acid) X- (conjugate base)The acid is also called the base's conjugate acid.
Sulfuric Acid is a powerful acid and not a base.
Its a acid base simply acid ;)
