Zinc does react with cold water - it just does so very slowly. Steam is water that is very hot and thus as with any chemical reaction, the heat gives the molecules more energy and so they react faster.

Will there be a reaction between zinc and water?
Zinc reacts with steam to form Zinc oxide(yellow when hot and white when cold) and hydrogen. Zn+H2O=ZnO +H2
Which metals react slowly with cold water but vigorously with steam?
All metals, if they do react with water at all, react faster in steam than in water. However, the metals that react SLOWLY with cold water are the metals from Group-IIA(Magnesium, Calcium, etc).
What element react with steam and not with cold water?
Gold does not react with water or steam. i wouldn't totally agree with the above statment. There are 5 metals which don't not just 1...these are: .lead .copper .mercury .silver .gold
What metal reacts with steam to give an oxide that is yellow when and white when cold?
Zinc oxide ZnO
Will zinc react in silver nitrate solution.why?
Yes zinc will react to form zinc nitrate and silver.
Is zinc unreactive to water?
Zinc is unreactive to cold water, but will react with steam to give zinc oxide and hydrogen.

Can alkali metals react with steam?
2Al (s) + 3H2O(g) ---------> Al2O3 (s) + 3H2(g)
Will zinc react in silver nitrate solution.why?
Yes zinc will react to form zinc nitrate and silver.
What does zinc plus hydrochloric acid react to give?
The products are zinc chloride and hydrogen.
Does zinc react with titanium?
Zinc does not react with titanium but it could be alloyed with titanium.
