Zn has a lower reduction potential than Cu and so the Zn will be oxidized (lose electrons) to become Zn^2+ and the Cu^2+ in solution will be reduced (gain electrons) to become Cu(s).

What happens to potato strip in dilute water?

This depends on the concentration of the salt solution. If the water potential of the salt solution is greater (less concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move into the potato cells, increasing the size of the potato strip. If the water potential of the salt solution is lower (more concentrated) than the cell sap of the potato cells, water would move out of the potato cells in the salt solution, decreasing the size of the potato strip.
