(Orgo) What reactant is used in the deprotection step?

I know a carbonyl can be protected by using OHCH2CH2OH AND H+, but how do I then get it back to a carbonyl?

For some reason I'm thinking it's just H3O+, but I can't find anywhere if that's correct or not.

So if anyone could just give me conformation on the reactants for protection and deprotection that would be awesome.

Thanks!

I believe so. just looked at couple rxns and saw water being used. same principle.

Yes....H30+ works great.
