Reaction of metal, Magnesium(Mg), Copper(Cu), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), Aluminum (Al), Zinc (Zn)
with Heat(Steam), Oxygen(Scratch), TapWater(Cold), Hydrochloride Acid, Heat(burn).

most reactive. Ca (1st), Mg (2nd), Al (3rd), Zn (4th), Fe (5th), Pb (6th), Cu (7th)

Result is.

Heat(Steam)
Mg - Nothing
Cu - Nothing
Ca - Bubbles
Fe - Nothing
Pb - Nothing
Al - Nothing
Zn - Nothing

Water(cold)
Mg - Nothing
Cu - Nothing
Ca - Bubbles, Milky colour, Smoke, Lil explode
Fe - some little bubbles around
Pb - nothing
Al - nothing, float
Zn - nothing

Hydrochloride Acid
Mg - Smells, Bubbles, Warm, Melt, Gone
Cu - Nothing
Ca - Bubbling, Warm, Dissapear
Fe - Nothing, lil bubbles
Pb - Nothing
Al - Nothing change
Zn - Bubbles, turn milky colour

Heat(burn)
Mg - Burnt, Become white powder
Cu - Colour Changed
Ca - Nothing
Fe - Nothing, turned black
Pb - Melt
Al - Become harder
Zn - become harder


Thats my observation.. is there any mistake i've made? have a look, it won't take you too many time. If theres any mistake, please, solve it for me? thanks.

Purely from memory  -  so please correct if wrong!!

I seem to remember Mg reacting very slowly with water  -  if you leave it for a bit longer and look closely you should see very small bubbles forming very slowly.  Therefore  -  I would expect a reaction with the steam also.
