Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following correctly describes the particles in a sample of nitrogen gas at room temperature?

  1. Particles are closely packed in a regular pattern
  2. Particles vibrate about fixed positions
  3. Particles move randomly at high speeds with large spaces between them
  4. Particles slide over each other in a random arrangement
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CParticles move randomly at high speeds with large spaces between them
Award 1 mark for correctly describing gas particles as moving randomly at high speeds with large spaces between them. A describes a solid. B describes particles in a solid. D describes a liquid.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student in a Jamaican school laboratory wants to obtain pure water from a sample of sea water collected from Kingston Harbour. Which separation technique would be MOST suitable?

  1. Filtration
  2. Simple distillation
  3. Evaporation
  4. Decanting
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BSimple distillation
Award 1 mark for identifying distillation as the method to obtain pure water from a solution. A is incorrect — filtration separates insoluble solids from liquids, not dissolved salts. C is incorrect — evaporation would leave salt behind but the water would be lost as vapour. D is incorrect — decanting separates immiscible liquids or liquids from settled solids.

CXC CSEC Chemistry: States of Matter and Separation Techniques FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Chemistry questions on States of Matter and Separation Techniques are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 86 exam-board-aligned practice questions on States of Matter and Separation Techniques 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 States of Matter and Separation Techniques 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 States of Matter and Separation Techniques 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 States of Matter and Separation Techniques typically tested on CXC CSEC Chemistry papers?
States of Matter and Separation Techniques 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.
