Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student in Trinidad tested four metals by adding each to dilute sulfuric acid. Three metals produced bubbles of gas but one did not react. Which metal did NOT react?

  1. Magnesium
  2. Zinc
  3. Silver
  4. Iron
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CSilver
Award 1 mark for silver. Silver is below hydrogen in the reactivity series and does not react with dilute acids. Magnesium, zinc, and iron are all above hydrogen and will produce hydrogen gas with dilute acids.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

A student in Jamaica placed an iron nail into a solution of copper(II) sulfate and observed a reddish-brown coating forming on the nail. Which statement BEST explains this observation?

  1. Iron is less reactive than copper and displaces it from solution
  2. Iron is more reactive than copper and displaces it from solution
  3. Copper is more reactive than iron and dissolves the nail
  4. Iron and copper react together to form a new compound
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BIron is more reactive than copper and displaces it from solution
Award 1 mark for recognizing that a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound. A is incorrect because it reverses the reactivity order. C is incorrect because copper cannot displace iron. D is incorrect because this is a displacement reaction, not a synthesis reaction.

CXC CSEC Chemistry: Reactivity Series of Metals FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Chemistry questions on Reactivity Series of Metals are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Reactivity Series of Metals for CXC CSEC Chemistry, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Chemistry?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Reactivity Series of Metals practice with other Chemistry topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Reactivity Series of Metals questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Chemistry syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Chemistry specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Reactivity Series of Metals typically tested on CXC CSEC Chemistry papers?
Reactivity Series of Metals appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Chemistry papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
