charcoal, which provides carbon and other fuel for the reaction, simplified as carbon (C); sulfur (S), which, while also serving as a fuel, lowers the temperature required to ignite the mixture, thereby increasing the rate of combustion.

✨Hey mate!!✨

✨Gunpowder was invented by Chinese chemists in the 9th century. Originally, it was made by mixing elemental sulfur (S),charcoal (C), and “saltpeter” properly named potassium nitrate (KNO3). For the most powerfulblack powder "meal" a wood charcoal is used. ... Charcoal is not the only carbon fuel that can be used..✨

Hope this helps you...!!
