To determine which chemical weathering processes rely primarily on water, we can look at the definitions and characteristics of each process.

1. Dissolution: This process occurs when a solid mineral dissolves in water. It involves the breaking down of minerals into individual ions or molecules, which are then carried away in the water. Since dissolution relies on the presence and action of water, it is one of the chemical weathering processes that primarily rely on water.

2. Oxidation: This process happens when minerals react with oxygen in the presence of water, resulting in the formation of new compounds. While oxidation requires the presence of water, it does not solely rely on water. Therefore, oxidation is not primarily dependent on water.

3. Precipitation: This process occurs when dissolved minerals in water come out of solution and form solid deposits. Precipitation is not strictly reliant on water since it refers to the formation of solid deposits from a liquid solution.

4. Hydrolysis: This process involves the chemical reaction between minerals and water molecules, resulting in the breakdown of minerals and formation of new compounds. Hydrolysis is a chemical weathering process that heavily relies on water as it is the main agent of the reaction.

Therefore, the correct answers that rely primarily on water for chemical weathering processes are:

- Dissolution
- Hydrolysis

Precipitation and dissolution?

I agree with your answers

I don't think precipitation and dissolution will work. Precipitation, I think, means in this sense precipitation of rain, snow, hail and that kind of thing and not the chemical precipitation found in chemical reactions. Dissolution most often is a a physical process of a solute dissolving in a solvent. Most solution processes are physical in nature. For example, salt dissolved in water is a physical process. Limestone dissolved in water is a physical change and a physical process.
