Answer:

Potato chip bags are not full of air, but of nitrogen gas. This is done to prevent the chips from oxidizing, which is part of what makes them go stale. Oxygen is very reactive, and likes to combine with other molecules whenever it can, causing chemical changes to take place.

Answer:

Potato chips Manufacturing is usually replace by pack of chips with nitrogen gas because these kind of food items contain oil and fats and these can be oxidized if exposed to atmosphere for a considerable period of time and thus they become rancid.

Nitrogen acts as an antioxidizing agent which opposes oxidation and slows it's process. Thus it helps to prevent them from becoming rancid.
