The two correct examples of chemical weathering are:
1. **Oxidation of certain metals in rock** - This is a chemical reaction where oxygen interacts with minerals, leading to changes in the chemical composition of the rock.
2. **Acid rain breaking down compounds in rock statues** - Acid rain can chemically react with the minerals in the rock, leading to their degradation.
The other options describe physical weathering or biological processes rather than chemical weathering.
