no it is a gass
Methane (CH4) is neither an acid nor a base. It is a simple hydrocarbon gas that is neither acidic nor alkaline.
Nitric acid does not react directly with methane under normal conditions. However, in the presence of a catalyst or under high-temperature conditions, methane can be oxidized by nitric acid to form carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and water. This reaction is not commonly used due to its complexity and the availability of more efficient methods for methane oxidation.
Sulfuric acid can react with methane in the presence of a catalyst to produce methyl hydrogen sulfate. This reaction is used in industry to modify methane for various applications.
well I'm only eleven but i know the answer, yes it does but if you want to know how its makes acid rain it got something to do with the atmosphere and carbon dioxide Re: What the heck? Obviously methane has to do with the atmosphere and carbon dioxide, OH radicals in the atmosphere break methane into carbon dioxide and water. But no, methane does NOT cause acid rain! Acid rain is caused by sulphur and nitrogen oxides in clouds. Methane is simply a green-house-gas, it can't cause acid rain because it has a pKa of ~56 (weak acid), which is why a strong base such as OH- is required to break it.

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.

No. It rains methane on Titan.
It is considered to be an organic chemical.

The conjugate acid of CH3 (methane) would be CH5+, which is an unstable species known as a methyl cation.
Not really - the gases they give off are mainly methane.
It is a neutral substances.Examples are water,methane etc.
Well the concentration of sulfur in acid rain cuts back the emissions of the greenhouse gas methane, but that's it.
Sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, citric acid ...
