  5. data bleach / water / rank
    100% bleach / 100 ml / 0 ml / 10
    3/4% bleach / 75 ml / 25 ml / 8
    1/2% bleach / 50 ml / 50 ml / 6
    1/4% bleach / 25 ml / 75 ml / 4
    1/8% bleach / 12.5 ml / 87.5 ml / 2
    0% bleach / 0 ml / 100 ml / 0

  6. analysis and conclusion: the experiment supports the hypothesis that if the original bleach solution is diluted repeatedly with water the bleach effect did lessen as the concentration decreases
