When a raw potato is cut it soon turns brown because of oxidation. To test it with an experiment you need a raw potato, a lemon and a knife. 
Cut the raw potato in two halves. To experiment cover one-half potato with lemon juice. Mark the piece covered with lemon juice with blue tape. The other half is just left exposed to the air. 
Then wait for a couple of hours. You’ll be surprised that the piece covered with lemon juice remains white while the one exposed to the air turns brown because of oxidation.
