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.

Does alkali react with magnesium?

Yes, alkali can react with magnesium, particularly when magnesium is in its elemental form. In the presence of strong alkalis, such as sodium hydroxide, magnesium can react to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction typically occurs at elevated temperatures or in the presence of water. However, magnesium does not react significantly with alkalis at room temperature.
