    Feldspar-clay

    Quartz - No chemical change

    Olivine - Limonite

    Explanation:

    When chemically weathered, some of the original minerals of granite change into different minerals.

    Feldspar, for example, tends to hydrate and transform into a clay mineral.

    Iron-rich minerals, like olivine, turn into limonite by chemical weathering. Quartz is considerably resistant to chemical weathering, so it's the least susceptible to the chemical change.
