When you open a firecracker, which powder is the gunpowder?...the black or the orange?

Question

which of the two powders is the gunpowder...whas the other one?

Answer 1

The black powder is the gunpowder, the orange likely gives it a color when it's burned.

Answer 2

The black powder is the explosive.  I'm not sure what the orange one is.  If it's the type of firecracker designed to make a colorful flash, it could be the metallic powder that shines brightly.  If it's the type that just goes bang, it could be a more sensitive explosive designed to set off the gunpowder.

Answer 3

The black is the gunpowder..

I hope it helps :)
