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.

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.

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.
