Methane can be either a solute or a solvent.
When discussing solutions in chemistry, the substance present in greatest quantity is usually called the solvent.
That means, if you are considering a low concentration of methane dissolved in lots of water, in that case the water is the solvent, and the methane is the solute.
On the other hand, if you are considering a body of liquid methane in which other substances are dissolved in smaller amounts, methane is then the solvent.

∙ 12y agoyes, methane is an organic compound, because it contains at least one carbon and hydrogen.

∙ 15y agomethane is soluble in organic solvents....when biological wastes are formed then the methane gas evolved during decomposition is dissolved in organic solvents discarded from their body.

∙ 12y agoYes, methane is soluble in non polar solvents according to the general rule "like dissolves like" being non polar compound itself.

Thorium Oxalate soluble in which organic solvent?
I believe that is not soluble in organic solvents.
Why lithium bromide soluble in organic solvent?
no
Is Teflon soluble in any organic solvent?
No, it is highly resistant polymer and can not be dissolved in any organic solvent.
Is benzene soluble in chloroform?
Yes. Chloroform is an excellent solvent for organic products. Benzene is an organic molecule consisting of purely Carbons and Hydrogens

What is the solute and the solvent of DDT?
DDT as solute is soluble in organic solvents.
Are kerosene and oil soluble?
No. Kerosene is an organic compound. and water is a non-organic compound. (kerosene : non-polar Water : polar). As water is a polar solvent kerosene is not soluble in it. but kerosene is soluble in ethyl alcohol which is a non-polar solvent.
Why nailpolish dissolved when acetone is added?
Nailpolish is an organic material soluble in a non polar solvent.
Will the fat dissolved in organic solvents answer Sudan test?
Yes, fats are soluble in hexane,ether,ethyl acetate and other organic solvent.
Is benzene soluble in chloroform?
Yes. Chloroform is an excellent solvent for organic products. Benzene is an organic molecule consisting of purely Carbons and Hydrogens
In which solvent Iron oxide is soluble?
Iron oxide is only soluble when placed in concentrated mineral acids. It is insoluble in organic and water based solvents.
Why phenobarbital soluble in organic solvent more than aqueous solvent?
The chemical structure of phenobarbital is:The aromatic ring and methyl group will be more favorable for organic solvent, while the NH in the ring and O attachments favor aqueous solvents.One gram is soluble in approximately 1000 ml of water, and 10 ml of alcohol. Compared to other barbiturates it has a lowlipid solubility. It is very soluble in water, soluble in alcohol, and freely solu­ble in propylene glycol. In other words, the question makes an incorrect assumption - phenobarbital is MORE soluble in aqueous solvents than in organic solvents.
What is the generalization of solubility of lipids?
Lipids are soluble in nonpolar or organic solvents.
