Quartz, by a long shot. Then orthoclase, muscovite, biotite, in that order
This is a chemical weathering.
Quartz is a mineral that is the most resistant to chemical weathering. Its resistance is due to the structure of the grains that comprise it.
Quartz is a mineral that is highly resistant to chemical weathering. Marble is a mineral that is more susceptible to chemical weathering.

The clay mineral Kaolinite - Al2Si2O5(OH)4.
Rocks that are rich in the mineral Calcite, such as limestone, are especially vulnerable to chemical weathering.
Orthoclase feldspar is 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
