When a balloon rises, the air pressure drops to half the air pressure at sea level p _ 0 = 1 . 0

When a balloon rises, the air pressure drops to half the air pressure at sea level p_0 = 1.01325 · 10^5 Pa. The density of the air on the ground is rho _0 = 1,293kg/m^3. The temperature of the atmosphere and the balloon should be assumed to be constant, so that the product p · V can be assumed to be constant. 

(a) At what altitude is the balloon?

(b) What density rho does the air have at this altitude?

(c) What maximum climbing height will the balloon reach if it is filled with gas of density rho _G(0) to the volume V_0 at sea level and then tightly closed? The mass of the solid balloon envelope is m_B and that of the payload is m_N. The volume of the balloon envelope and payload can be neglected.
