Using chales's law what is the purpose of a gas burner on a hot air balloon?

Charles' law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. So, when temperature is doubled, the volume of the gas is doubled. A gas burner increases the temperature of the air inside the balloon, which increases its volume, making it less dense the air around it, making it float.

Why do hot air balloons rise?
Hot air is less dense than cold air, thus hot air rises in cold air. Hot air balloons trap the hot air, thus creating an upward force at the top of the balloon. With sufficient mass, the upward force upon the balloon can overcome gravity, lifting both the balloon and the burner (used to heat the air) up off the ground. To lift people you need a much larger envelope to hold the required mass of hot air to overcome the gravitational pull. The air in the balloon is heated by a burner to make it expand (become less dense). They have a lever that they pull that releases fire.The fire makes hot air and it hits the top of the hot air balloon that makes it rise. Helium-filled balloons are more commonly known as blimps (airships) which do not use burners because helium is lighter-than-air to begin with. Helium replaced hydrogen which was originally used in blimps. Using burners on hydrogen would have been foolhardy at best (refer to the Hindenburg disaster).

How does balloon flight work?
By using a heat burner, hte balloon pilot makes the air in the balloon lighter than normal air. Then the balloon moves upward and moves with the wind.

What is the purpose of mixing air with gas when using a Bunsen burner?
The amount of air with gas will affect the combustion reaction.
What are the 2 ways of controlling the descent of the hot air balloon?
There are actually three ways. The first is just not using your burner, letting the air cool down. The second is to use the parachute valve, a flap on the top of the balloon controlled by the pilot. The third method is to shoot the balloon with a .22. other calibers can be used, but I recommend using a .22, since the rounds are cheaper.
