name 2 metals that reacts with dilute sulphuric acid but reacts with steam liberating hydrogen

Dear student,

Zn and Mg are the two metals that react with dilute sulphuric acid and liberate hydrogen gas. 
Metals rarely react with hydrogen, but metals like sodium and potassium will react with hydrogen gas to form hydrides when suitable conditions are provided for the reaction. 

Regards
