What does 1) NaOMe/MeOH 2)H30+ workup do to carbonyl compounds generally?

I know this is a very broad question, but I'm just wondering in general terms. Thanks.

Sodium methoxide is a very strong base and does strong bases things. Acid has the ability to put ahydrogen back on typically..

Broad general question, broad general answer!

So for example, if you have methyl butanoate as a starting reagent, what would the final product be?

What do you get when you react a strong base with an ester?

In my opinion, you should check aldol condensation:

How to Catch a Lion in the Sahara Desert:

The Quantum Measurement Method: We assume that the sex of the lion is _ab initio_ indeterminate. The wave function for the lion is hence a superposition of the gender eigenstate for a lion and that for a lioness. We lay these eigenstates out flat on the ground and orthogonal to each other. Since the (male) lion has a distinctive mane, the measurement of sex can safely be made from a distance, using binoculars. The lion then collapses into one of the eigenstates, which is rolled up and placed inside the cage.
