What happens to the pH if a small amount of strong acid is added to an non buffered solution?

It will all depend on the amount of solution and the amount of acid that you add. It will move the pH closer to 7. If the amount of solution is rather small, the pH will move further towards the acid side.

Adding a base to any solution will increase the pH.

When a base is added to a buffered solution, the buffer will?
When small amounts of acid or base are added to a buffer solution, the buffer functions to keep the pH from changing.
If you have a solution of a strong acid and a solution of a weak acid of equal concentration and volume then what happens?
The weak acid becomes in unionized form
Why does a solution of a conjugate acid base pair behave as a buffered solution?
The resist pH change in the following way: If you add a strong acid to the buffer solution, the conjugate base gets protonated, but the pH is not significantly changed. If you add a strong base to the buffer, the conjugate acid gets deprotonated, and again the pH is not changed very much. If you only had one component (let's say just the conjugate base), then it would not be able to resist change in pH if you added a strong base to the solution (although it would still counteract the affect of added acid).
Is a can of frozen juice a concentrated or dilute solution?
Concentrated solution because it is a strong solution. It has a large amount of solute which fits the definition of concentrated solution.
Is a water solution of a strong acid always concentrated?
a water solution of a strong acid is what?
What does the chemically buffered combination of strong acids that dissociate completely in water with weak bases such as hydroxides lead to?
This leads to neutral water by H+ + OH- --> H2O and neutral salt solution when added in equavalent amounts, BUT it is NOT a buffered solution.
When a base is added to a buffered solution, the buffer will?
When small amounts of acid or base are added to a buffer solution, the buffer functions to keep the pH from changing.
What happens when you put potatoes in a strong solution of sugar?
you will die
What happens when the pH solution is lower?
When adding a strong acid to an acidic solution pH decreases. Adding a strong base to an acidic solution the pH increases.
What happens if you put sodium carbonate solid on ammonium hydroxide solution?
In a weak solution, fizzing. In a very strong solution - run away.
If you have a solution of a strong acid and a solution of a weak acid of equal concentration and volume then what happens?
The weak acid becomes in unionized form
What happens when a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution?
When a strong beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution, then scattering of light is absorbed.

Concentrated solution because it is a strong solution. It has a large amount of solute which fits the definition of concentrated solution.
How you classify the solution as a best buffer solution?
A buffer solution is one involving a weak base/weak acid with its conjugate acid/base. In a buffer solution, the pH must be changed to only a small amount. Thus, any solution with a STRONG acid or a STRONG base is not a successful buffer solution because there would be a relatively large change in the initial pH.
Is a water solution of a strong acid always concentrated?
a water solution of a strong acid is what?
What would happen to the overall pH if you dumped a strong acid into a solution that was slightly alkaline?
The final pH of the mixture will depend on how much of the strong acid you add. The initial amount of acid will neutralize the alkaline solution, and if there is enough of the strong acid, the final pH will then become acidic, i.e. pH < 7.
