How any gallons in a pound of bleach?
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! Ray
Is there water in bleach?
If you mean for drinking water then, NO WAY! you can't drink bleach. You can use old water for almost everything. There is no real need to put bleach in water.
Can you mix non ionic surfactants with bleach?
AnswerTHE MANUFACTURER CLEARLY STATES ON THE PRODUCT LABEL "DO NOT MIX WITH BLEACH". I SUGGEST THAT YOU FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS. Many dish detergents contain chemicals which may react with chlorine bleach. Ammonia would be one example. Bleach should not be added to the wash water ever. Bleach should be added at a rate of one teaspoon per gallon of water, to the rinse water, not the wash water. This is standard in restaurants across the U.S.Dirt and dish soap neutralize bleach and make it ineffective as a sanitizer. This is why dishes must first be washed and rinsed before being submerged in a bleach solution and air dried. Air drying is required to ensure bleach has a sufficient contact time to kill germs.

True
How much household chlorine bleach is needed in a gallon of water to produce an effective solution for disinfecting equipment such as splints and stethoscope?
You can sanitize non-porous materials using bleach. To do so, use 2-1/2 (two and a half) tablespoons of beach dissolved in 1 (one) gallon of water. In other words, use a 1% bleach-to-water solution. Since a gallon is 256 tablespoons the math is to multiply 256 by 1%; represented as an equation: 256 * 0.01 = 2.56 Bleach is caustic and will corrode metals. Do not let soak indefinitely. Typically, 30 minutes is all that is needed.

Can you use chlorine bleach to clean your pool?
Answer#1You sure can. One gallon of regular household bleach (5.25% concentration) will raise the free Chlorine level in a pool of 20,000 gallons by 1ppm. If you wished to "shock" a 20,000 gallon pool you would need 20 gallons of household bleach. Keep the kids indoors, for safety reasons. Some swim goggles would be useful for your safety.Once your pool has seen it's "shock and awe", (and after Chlorine levels have fallen below 3ppm) Trichloro-s-triazinetrione (Tri-Chlor) is a better sanitizer, being that it contains the stabilizer cyanuric acid, slowing its degredation due to UV exposure.
What is the difference between liquid pool chlorine and household bleach?
Pool shock is calcium hypochlorite. Liquid bleach is sodium hypochlorite. Liquid pool shock is sodium hypochlorite. Yes, they are all basically the exact same things, the only difference is which metal they are bonded with for delivery and stability. Calcium hypochlorite is the granulated form of pool chlorine. It is useful if you have an in ground plaster/concrete/gunite/tile pool as it supplies calcium to the water to help maintain hardness. Sodium hypochlorite is liquid form. This is useful to use if you have a vinyl lined pool since you don't need to maintain elevated calcium hardness in these types of pools. Household bleach (non scented) is 6% sodium hypochlorite by solution. Liquid pool chlorine is 10%-12% sodium hypochlorite by solution. Granulated chlorine is 65% calcium hypochlorite. 10oz of granulated chlorine = 1/2 gallon of liquid pool chlorine = 1 gallon of household bleach. These measurements will raise the chlorine level by 5ppm in 10,000 gallons of water.
