Question:

Why does apple turn black when put in an empty bowl for some time?


Answers:

It is called oxidization. The chemicals that are in the fruit react with the air around it when cut up. To stop it from happening or to stop most of it, squeeze some lemon juice over it if it is going to be sitting aside for a while.
