Manganese dioxide (MnO2) is a black powder.
Black powder absorbs moisture from the atmosphere
Black powder and smokeless powder differ significantly in power. Smokeless powder is more powerful, providing higher velocities and energy compared to black powder. Smokeless powder's cleaner burn and increased efficiency make it the standard propellant for modern firearms, offering better performance and reduced fouling.

rM ROD FOR BLACK POWDER WEAPON
Black powder and smokeless powder are two totally different animals. For all intents smokeless is meant for loading cartridges and black powder is used for muzzle loading fire arms. Black powder can also be used in cartridge loads. You have heard terms referring to a gun in 45-70 on 38-20 or 44-40 calibers. Those numbers refer to the caliber (45) and the amount of black powder in the cartridge (70 grains) Smokeless powder should NEVER be used in place of black powder in muzzle loaders, or in the same volume as black powder in cartridge loads. So depending on what you are shooting both powders have there place.
Yes
