This is an example of displacement of hydrogen in water by a metal. Active metals react with water/steam to produce metal hydroxides and hydrogen.
The balanced chemical equation is:
Mg(s) +2H2O(g) yields Mg(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)

∙ 10y ago2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO(s)
magnesium + oxygen --> magnesium oxide
Explanation
Heating or burning magnesium will cause it to react with oxygen in the air. This will produce magnesium oxide.

Is magnesium a reactant or product?
It depends on the chemical reaction taking place.magnesium + oxygen -> magnesium oxideIn equation 1 it would be a reactant.magnesium oxide -> magnesium + oxygenIn equation 2 it would be a product.If magnesium is on the left-hand side of the equation it is a reactant.If magnesium is on the right-hand side of the equation it is a product.From Wikipedia:"The substances initially involved in a chemical reaction are called reactants. Chemical reactions are usually characterized by a chemical change, and they yield one or more products, which usually have properties different from the reactants."
