Normal bleach is between 5.25% and 6% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)... let's say 6%.
100 ml of 6% NaOCl contains 6 grams of NaOCl (definition of a 6% solution)
1 ml contains 0.06 grams of NaOCl
59.25 ml (a quarter cup) contains 3.6 grams of NaOCl
Now take those 3.6 grams of NaOCl and dissolve in 3785 ml (a gallon) of water.
3.6 / 3785 x 100 =
0.1% NaOCl
Someone check my math.
