None. Dynamite is a different product altogether. Originally, it was nitroglycerin soaked into an absorbent powder (diatomeceous earth). Today's explosives use quite different formulas, including varied chemicals- but no gunpowder. BTW, dynamite "sticks" may be 1 inch by 6 inches, up to 5 inches by 30 inches, but most of the explosives that I use are in the form of flowable pellets, gels, or emulsions (similar to mayonnaise)
No. Dynamite originally contained nitroglycerin, soaked into an absorbent material. Many commercial explosives are now based on ammonium nitrate, and nitrated propylene or ethylene glycol- but no gunpowder. By the way, the original gunpowder was a low explosive- it burns rapidly. Dynamite is a high explosive- it does not burn, but detonates at a speed MUCH greater- and releases much more energy. A standard 8 inch stick of dynamite releases about 1 million horsepower in 1/10,000th of a second
A lot of gunpowder or whatever it has, I think the fuse lights the gunpowder and it explodes!

dynamite and smokeless gunpowder
A typical stick of dynamite weighs around 1 pound.
dynamite and smokeless gunpowder
A stick of dynamite stores chemical potential energy, which is released in the form of heat and pressure when the dynamite explodes.
The energy stored in a dynamite stick is chemical potential energy. This energy is released in the form of heat and pressure when the dynamite is detonated.
Roughly 15 thousand tons of dynamite. A typical stick of dynamite weighs about half a pound. Now lets do the arithmetic (with units): 15000 tons * 2000 pounds/ton / 0.5 pound/stick = 60,000,000 sticks Roughly 60 million sticks of dynamite.
One stick of dynamite contains approximately 1,000 kilojoules of energy.
