Yes. Entire books with mostly dialogue can work. Have you never read a play?

What if there's a chapter that mostly exists to throw some light into the antagonists' motivations and seeing them react to a significant event of two chapters prior?

no, people don’t talk that much, you’d break verisimilitude

What I used to by mostly description, I started accomplishing with dialogue more often. It beaks it up, it shifts gears. There's something "happening".

Whole books with just monologue work, why wouldnt one chapter of mostly dialogue?

There are chapters of Moby Dick presented in theatrical script format so it's definitely possible
