Wow, you ask tough questions, but here goes.
Bleach, by which I imagine you mean the typical household bleach often called Javex (a popular brand name) is a solution of approximately 5% sodium hypochlorite in water. According to material data sheets, it has a specific gravity of about 1.08 at this concentration or, in other words, about 1.08 times the weight of water.
A US gallon of water weighs 8.35 lbs, therfore a US gallon of bleach weighs 8.35 x 1.08 = 9 lbs (rounded off).
Therefore one pound of bleach has a volume of 1/9'th of a US gallon.
The answer for a UK gallon, since it is larger and weighs 10 lbs for water, so 10 x 1.08 = 10.8 lbs - round off to 11 lbs - for bleach, then a pound of bleach has a volume of approximately 1/11'th of a UK gallon.
Whew!

How much bleach to treat 7000 gallons of water?
To treat 7000 gallons of water for drinking, you can use approximately 28 ounces of regular household bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite concentration). This amount of bleach can help disinfect the water to make it safe for consumption. Make sure to mix the bleach thoroughly and let it sit for about 30 minutes before using the water.
How many gallons of water is there in a pound of condensation?
There are a couple of problems with your question. First, "condensation" is simply water that has been changed from a vapor to a liquid, so unless you have something else in mind, your question seems to be, "How many gallons of water are there in a pound of water?" The second problem is that because there are about 8.34 pounds to a gallon of water, there are no "gallons" in a pound of water, only fractions of gallons. So, a better way to phrase your question might be, "What fraction of a gallon would a pound of water constitute?" To get the answer to that, you would simply divide one gallon by the number of pounds in a gallon (8.34) to determine that a pound of water is .12 of a gallon. Hope that helps. If that isn't what you were after, ask another question.
How many gallons of propane equal 30 propane tank?
8 gallons are in a 33 1/2 lb tank. Now is that the space in a 33 pound can or is that the amount of fuel in a 33 pound can? These cans can only be filled by law to 80% to allow for expansion If that is the case, 80% of 8 gallons is 6.4 Gallons. Now how many gallons are in a 33 pound can of propane?
