5 gallons of water = 42 pounds.
5 gallons of water plus 1 gallon of diluted bleach = 50.52 pounds.
total gallons of liquid in the bucket = 6
50.52 / 6 = 8.42.
8.42 pounds per gallon is the weight per gallon of the liquid in the bucket after the diluted bleach has been added.

When the bleach mixture is added, you have 6 gallons
The weight per gal of the total: 50.52/6 = 8.42 lb
