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 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.
