Gunpowder, also known as black powder, is a chemical mixture consisting of three primary components: saltpeter (potassium nitrate), charcoal, and sulfur. It is used as a propellant in firearms, fireworks, and explosives due to its rapid combustion and the gas expansion it generates. Historically, gunpowder was pivotal in warfare and mining, but it has largely been replaced by more advanced explosives in modern applications. Its invention is attributed to ancient Chinese alchemists in the 9th century.
