Hello!

To answer your question lets go over what Chemical Sedimentary Rock is.

Chemical Sedimentary Rocks are formed by the cementation, saturation and deposition of minerals in the solution causing them to be inorganic and preciptate.

The most known example of this is rock salt.

Of the list you have provided of possible examples the following are defined as chemical sedimentary rock:

  • Rock Salt
  • Iron Ore
  • SOME limestones

I hope this helps in answering your question.
