The amount of gunpowder needed to fire a cannon effectively depends on the size and type of the cannon. Generally, a cannon requires a specific amount of gunpowder to create enough force to propel the projectile out of the barrel with sufficient speed and accuracy. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines or consult with an expert to determine the appropriate amount of gunpowder for a specific cannon.

Chinese monks made stone cannon balls and put them in a bamboo shoot. They would then light gunpowder at one end of the bamboo shoot to fire the stone cannon ball. Hope this helps.
Who created gunpowder?
The general consensus among historians is that gunpowder was invented in China in the 9th century. During the 10th century, the Chinese began to use a weapon called the "fire lance," one of the earliest confirmed gunpowder weapons. This invention was later followed by the invention of the mine, the cannon, and the firearm. From China, gunpowder spread to the Middle East, Central Asia, and Europe, where various peoples (Mongols, Arabs, Germans) improved on the original formula. Gunpowder aka black powder mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate / saltpeter, creates an expanding gas that is used as perpellant in items ranging from firework to weaponry (canons, firearm) and is also known as a low explosive material. The spread of gun powder across Asia from China is widely attributed to the Mongols. One of the first examples of Europeans encountering gunpowder and firearms is at the Battle of Mohi, between the Mongolians and the Hungarians. At this battle the Mongols not only used gunpowder in early Chinese firearms but in the earliest grenades as well.

How was a cannon fired?
A cannon was fired by first priming the touch hole with gunpowder, then loading a projectile, such as a cannonball, followed by adding more gunpowder as a charge. The cannon was then aimed, and the fuse or a lit wick was used to ignite the gunpowder in the touch hole or the cannon’s main charge. This ignition created a rapid expansion of gases, which propelled the projectile out of the barrel with significant force. Fire safety and proper positioning were crucial to ensure the safety of the crew operating the cannon.

When you fire a cannon and the cannonball flies out of the barrel what does the cannon do?
When a cannon is fired and the cannonball is propelled out of the barrel, the cannon experiences an equal and opposite reaction due to Newton's third law of motion. This means that while the cannonball moves forward, the cannon itself recoils backward. The force generated by the explosion of the gunpowder pushes the cannonball out, resulting in the recoil of the cannon. This recoil can cause the cannon to move slightly backward and may require stabilization to maintain its position.
Where were the first guns made?
Gunpowder came before the gun and was made in China. It was first used to treat skin infections and the in the 10 th century the Chinese Fire Lance was developed. This is considered by historians as the first gun. By the 13 th century gunpowder had reached Europe and the cannon was produced in 1320 in Italy. The cannon was the primary use of the gunpowder until the lock was developed in the 15th century. Samuel Colt is given the credit for the invention of the pistol.
Does the gunpowder in a typical bullet have a shelf-life after which it will not fire effectively?
If stored properly, it will last decades. I have fired ammuntion from WW1 that was stored cool and dry.
Why is the speed of a cannonball greater when shot from a cannon with a longer barrel?
The energy needed to move a cannonball is created by burning fuel--usually gunpowder but nothing says they couldn't make a cannon that burned propane to fire projectiles. Anyway, if you're firing a round the speed of that cannonball is determined in part by how long the energy's being applied to it. The longer the barrel is, the longer the energy will be applied and the faster the cannonball will go.
