Zinc oxide
ZnO
The other product of the reaction may be an oxide or hydroxide.
Iron (Fe) is an example of a metal that reacts reversibly with steam to form its mixed oxide, which is a combination of iron oxide (FeO) and iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3).
Iron (Fe) reacts reversibly with steam to form iron(II, III) oxide, or Fe3O4, also known as magnetite.
The word equation is that iron or Fe reacts with steam H2O to produce iron oxide and hydrogen gas. Many metals that react with steam will give the products of the specific metal oxide and hydrogen gas.
Zinc reacts with steam to form Zinc oxide(yellow when hot and white when cold) and hydrogen. Zn+H2O=ZnO +H2
The other product of the reaction may be an oxide or hydroxide.
Iron (Fe) is an example of a metal that reacts reversibly with steam to form its mixed oxide, which is a combination of iron oxide (FeO) and iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3).
Magnesium reacts with steam faster than cold water because magnesium needs to burn to get magnesium oxide and to get magnesium oxide there has to be heat and since steam is already heated it doesn't need much time, but the cold water needs time to heat first to react.

Some metals such as iron react with steam to produce hydrogen gas and metal oxides. The metal oxide is formed as a result of the metal reacting with oxygen from the steam.
Magnesium oxide (MgO) is obtained.
Zinc reacts with steam to form Zinc oxide(yellow when hot and white when cold) and hydrogen. Zn+H2O=ZnO +H2
The white powder formed when magnesium reacts with steam is magnesium oxide.
Iron hydroxide. Fe(OH)2 or Fe(OH)3, depending on the oxidation state of iron (ferrous = +2, ferric = +3)
Iron is the metal that reacts with steam to produce hydrogen gas in red heat conditions.
