If you put a five pound fish in a gallon of water does the water now weigh fifteen pounds?

A gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds. If you have a good sized bucket with a gallon of water in it and you put a 5-pound fish in the bucket, you'll have a bucket that weighs about 13.34 pounds (plus the weight of the bucket). That's as long as the bucket doesn't overflow. The fish will (usually) be neutrally bouyant in the water, and it will be essentially weightless in that water. But its weight will add to that of the water in the bucket. No, it won't weigh 15 pounds, but it will weigh in as suggested. However, the weight of the water itself will not change.

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.
