What would cause the barrier potential to decrease from 0.7 V to 0.6 V?

The barrier potential may depend on the exact material; but you can't normally change that. It may also depend on temperature.Also, such a barrier potential is not fixed at some value (like 0.7 V); however, it's often close enough that you can consider it to be constant. But actually, the barrier potential depends on the current. At higher currents, the potential is slightly higher.

If a potato core is allowed to dehydrate by sitting in the open air would the water potential of the potato cells increase or decrease and why?

The water potential of the potato cells would decrease because as water leaves the cells through osmosis to the drier environment, it causes the concentration of solutes inside the cells to increase, lowering the water potential.
