The two chemical weathering processes that rely primarily on water are:
1. **Hydrolysis**
2. **Dissolution**
Hydrolysis involves the reaction of minerals with water, leading to changes in their chemical structure. Dissolution refers to the process where minerals dissolve in water, which is primarily a result of the solvent action of water.
