When a potato chip is put into 1M sugar solution, the water from the potato cells will pass into the sugar solution because the solution inside the potato cells is weaker than the solution in the test tube. This will cause the potato cells to lose water making the chip limp or flaccid. I also predict that since potato cells gain and lose water, the weight will also change.
