Methane (CH₄) does not produce acid rain because it is a stable hydrocarbon that does not readily react with water or oxygen in the atmosphere to form acidic compounds. Acid rain primarily results from the oxidation of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), which react with water vapor to form sulfuric and nitric acids. While methane can contribute to atmospheric reactions that produce greenhouse gases, it does not directly lead to the formation of acids that characterize acid rain.
What else can I help you with?
Does Titan have acid rain?
No. It rains methane on Titan.
When methane is burned why doesn't it cause acid rain?
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.

What are the positive effects of acid rain?
Well the concentration of sulfur in acid rain cuts back the emissions of the greenhouse gas methane, but that's it.
What kind of particles do acid produce?
they produce rain
Do landfills cause acid rain?
Not really - the gases they give off are mainly methane.
How much sulphuric acid rain falls on Jupiter?
Sulfuric acid rain does not fall on Jupiter because Jupiter's atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with small amounts of methane, ammonia, and water vapor. The sulfuric acid rain phenomenon is more commonly associated with Venus, where sulfuric acid clouds produce acid rain.
Does sulfuric acid reacts with methane?
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.
What do automobiles produce which cause acid rain?
Carbon Dioxide(CO2)
Name of acid formed when sulfur oxides mixes with rainwater?
I think it is Nitrogen Oxide. The nitrous oxide condenses with the rain to give the nitric acid, sulfur dioxide condenses with the rain to give sulfuric acid, carbon dioxide combines with the rain to give carbonic acid . These three acids constitute the acid rain.
How nitric acid react with methane?
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.
Chemicals in the air can combine with rain to produce acid rain which is harmful to the environment. Which of these is most likely to be the pH of acid rain?
The pH of acid rain can range from 4.0 to 4.4, making it slightly acidic. This acidity can harm vegetation, aquatic life, and infrastructure.
What dangerous precipitation is produce when sulfur compounds react with water the atmosphere?
Acid rain It is called Acid rain.
