Dissolution from acidic rainfall.
It would depend on the type of rock and the temperature changes involved.
temperature, confining pressure, rock type, and time
Porosity .Porous sediments equals better circulation and thus fater weathering process. .Impermeable rocks will mean that no or little circulation and thus slower weathering process.
The rate of weathering depends on several factors such as climate, rock type, and presence of vegetation. In general, weathering is faster in warm, wet environments and on softer rock types. Additionally, human activities can also influence the rate of weathering.
Climate can greatly influence chemical weathering, as wet and warm environments tend to accelerate chemical reactions. Meanwhile, the type of rock and geological processes in an area can impact the rate of mechanical weathering, as softer rocks are more susceptible to mechanical breakdown.

Hydration
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
