Hypothesis I predict that the piece of potato in the 100% salt solution will become most flaccid and therefore the smallest and lightest potato chip. The piece of potato in 75% salt solution will be the next smallest and lightest because that is a little bit less flaccid than the chip in the 100% salt solution. The chip in 50% salt solution will be the next lightest and smallest and so on. The piece of potato in 0% salt solution will be the least flaccid (the most turgid) and will therefore be the heaviest and biggest potato chip.
