The answer is; Physical weathering does not change the composition of the rock while chemical weathering does.

Physical weathering only cracks and breaks the rocks into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering causes a reaction between the rock minerals and acidic rain or organic acids from plants forming different minerals or dissolving the rock minerals.
