I'm doing a school science project with my son and we are putting 4 different metals in 4 different liquids and tracking the effects over 5 days. Only one metal and liquid is reacting in a way we didn't expect ..maybe someone can tell me why? (to lazy to do the research)

we put Galvanized Steel in Vinegar .. right from day one it started to produce a gas in the form of bubbles on the metal .. now on day 5 it's not bubbling but the Vinegar is dark red and has slime on top ... the Galvanized Steel does not appear to be rusted but just dull.

we had no changes to the metal in fresh water /salt water or oil ... anyone know what the Chem. reaction is from ..is it the Zinc or what?
