Bags of chips (crisps) can expand in an airplane.

A bag of chips on the ground doesn't appear to be inflated because the outside air pressure is high. As the elevation increases (like in an airplane) the outside air pressure decreases, which means that there is also less pressure in the bag. As the pressure decreases in the bag, the gas inside wants to take up more room and it expands (similar to what happens when the pressure is released from a can of soda).

However, the cabins of most airplanes are pressurized, so you would not be able to see any expansion.

Which word is wrong in this sentence 'A packet of crisps were found on the bench'?

The word that is wrong is 'were'The reason that it is wrong is that the subject of the sentence 'A packet of crisps' is singular (it refers to one packetnot the many crisps in the packet) while the verb 'were found' refers to the plural (i.e they were found). As there is only one packet of crisps 'was found' the singular should be used (i.e. it was found). The sentence should therefore read:-"A packet of crisps was found on the bench."
