The two correct examples of chemical weathering are:

  1. acid rain breaking down compounds in rock statues
  2. oxidation of certain metals in rock

These processes involve chemical reactions that alter the composition of the minerals in the rocks. The other options represent physical weathering or biological activity rather than chemical weathering.
