Both water and carbon dioxide contains an oxygen molecule. Water molecules combines with carbon dioxide when rain falls through the atmosphere. Water that seeps through the ground also picks up carbon dioxide from decaying organic matter.The carbon dioxide dissolved in water forms carbonic acid. This is the weak acid in carbonated soft drinks. Carbonic acid reacts with many common minerals.
CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3 ↔ H+ + HCO3-Chemical reactions break down the bonds holding the rocks together, causing them to fall apart, forming smaller and smaller pieces. Chemical weathering is much more common in locations where there is a lot of water. This is because water is important to many of the chemical reactions that can take place. Warmer temperatures are also more friendly to chemical weathering. The most common types of chemical weathering are oxidation, hydrolysis and carbonation.
Agents of chemical weathering depend on the climate and composition of the rock that is breaking down. Some Agents would include, water, oxygen, CO2, and acids. Temperature plays a significant role in chemical weathering. If it is warm and wet, the Chemical weathering process will increase. So, really it all depends.
Chemical weathering is the dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, or hydrolysis of rock and mineral by chemical means only, mostly from reactions with water or the acids contained in rainwater.Other materials are formed in the process. Warm, tropical climates are ideal environments for chemical weathering to take place as the chemical reactions are quickened by the bountiful rain and warm temperatures. Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, living organisms, and acid precipitation.

I believe you're referring to sulfuric acid, which is in acid rain.
Oxidation.
Oxygen is not a type of weathering. However, oxygen can play a role in certain types of chemical weathering processes, such as oxidation, where oxygen reacts with minerals in rocks to break them down.
Oxygen is the major gas that is the cause chemical weathering.
The most common cause of chemical weathering is oxygen
The most common cause of chemical weathering is oxygen
Mechanical weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without altering their chemical composition, usually by processes such as frost wedging or root expansion. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, involves changes in the chemical composition of rocks due to reactions with substances like water, acid rain, or oxygen, leading to the breakdown of minerals.
maybe i is form out of oxygen
Physical weathering is a type of weathering in which minerals react with dissolved oxygen in water. This causes chemical changes to take place in the minerals.

Chemical weathering affects rocks rain, wind or ice . Chemical weathering is the process that changes the composition ( the inside) of rocks on the earth surface.
