Grip strength is the force of the fingers and forearm. It is built by hanging, pinching, carrying, and pulling. Chalk changes the surface so more of the strength you already have reaches the bar or the hold. A dry hand can hold a load that a sweaty hand drops. The muscle did not get stronger in the ten seconds the alcohol dried.
If you want a number, use a dynamometer or a timed hang and write it down. This site does not publish a grip-strength claim for any bottle.
