Paulette,

I will await replies on your chemistry equation request -- I can't help
there.

How are you watering your plants? Are you irrigating? If so, is it drip or
bubbler/spray head?

I ask because when I talked to the soil specialist at the state ag
experiment station, he told me that because chlorine is very volatile, it
was his opinion that most of it would leave the water and go into the air
with a bubbler or overhead type of irrigation.

He does not use compost tea, so his opinion is not based on studying soil
test results with/without chlorine or sodium hypochlorite; others may have
such data and may be able to speak to it.

I don't know if we have sodium hypochlorite in our water or what its
volatility is.
