Lemon Juice contains acids that act as a preservative preventing the natural aging process of an apple from ruining it. You should try putting lemon juice on your apples before you go to school, so they don't spoil.

Can uncooked cut potatoes marinated in oil sit in fridge overnight?
I wouldn't recommend having a marinade on potatoes overnight. You can cut your potatoes up the night before and have them soak in water to avoid turning them brown/black. Just make sure the water is about an inch over the potatoes. If you want to marinate, an hour of soak time is good enough for potatoes. It's the oxygen that is touching the potatoes that turns them, so there might be some areas of the potato not completely covered in oil. If you still want to try it, make sure to have an airtight lid on.

Soaking potatoes rids them of their rich potassium.
